THE SCHOOL
Welcome to The School
In a fun and family environment we encourage children to explore their own creativity and expression as well as providing them the knowledge and discipline of the art of dance. We want our Students to be fearless in expressing themselves creatively whether they pursue a dance career or not. By offering a varied and holistic approach we hope to develop dynamic young students who can appreciate the art form as a whole, not just technical skills. We feel the strength, posture and confidence achieved during their years of training will be of great benefit in lots of adult life challenges such as: interviews, debates, presentations and high pressure situations.
