Our Courses
We offer a full Diploma in Dance Education (DDE) in Imperial Ballet, Modern Theatre and Tap Dance. You can choose to study one, two or all three genres at any time. Alongside this, we are able to train student teachers for their Intermediate Vocational, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2 Examinations in all three genres. These can be offered in group classes or through private 1-1 coaching, live, in person, via Zoom or through a catch up option.
Student Success
I'm so glad to have studied here and look forward to using all the skills I have learnt in my teaching career. I would 100% recommend it to any dance teachers.
