Here at Pattisons, we are proud to train the next generation of passionate and expert dancers and teachers. Our fully qualified and experienced staff offer classes in all aspects of Dance and Drama. Pattisons has been training performers in Coventry for over 90 Years and has long standing associations with all the local theatres.
As well as IDTA examinations, Pattisons will offer parents, friends and family the opportunity to see their children perform either in our annual production at a local theatre, in in-house showcases or at one of the many cabaret and charity events we are invited to take part in.
At Pattisons we give dancers of any age the opportunity to develop their skills and monitor their progress through a wide variety of award options via examination sessions. These are booked several times throughout the year and an external IDTA examiner will attend to assess the pupils’ work. These examinations however, are completely optional.
Starting out or an experienced dancer – Pattisons has something for everyone.
