WINNERS OF PLACE TO BE PROUD OF AWARDS BASINGSTOKE 2022 – ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT CATEGORY

We are based in our own large dance studios in Houndmills, Basingstoke, with sprung floors, and we provide a variety of dance classes across age groups and abilities.  We have a strong emphasis towards dance education, whilst also being fun. Our three dance studios are also available to hire.  We are a large school but nurture a family and team atmosphere.

We teach a variety of dance styles with a very talented and experienced teaching faculty.  We achieve excellent exam results in R.A.D Ballet, I.S.T.D. Modern and Tap. We are also an I.S.T.D. Approved Centre for teacher training.  Examinations are usually held twice a year.  We are also a Certified Studio with Acrobatic Arts.

We also run classes in Musical Theatre, Street Dance, Commercial, Lyrical, Contemporary, and Conditioning including Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT).

We have specialist Toddler Classes and Pre School Dance Classes.

We try to provide a range of performance opportunities at various events for a large number of our dedicated students of varying age levels. There are annual theatre shows for these students too and every other year we include everyone (over 5) in a full school production.  We have approximately two  sessions a year of both the ISTD and RAD exam boards (with excellent results) and recently qualified 9 Dances (6 Solos and 3 Groups )to the 2024 Dance World Cup Finals in Prague, Czech Republic.  Our Senior Large Group Commercial won their finalist section in 2020 (World Champions).  We have been proud to dance as part of TEAM ENGLAND for each year from 2017 through 2023.

We also facilitate pre-vocational training with a very high success rate for those students wanting to teach or work professionally in the performing arts industry. These students also form our student B.A.D. Company.  We also have a very large adult dance community.

So, whether you want to keep fit, gain confidence, improve your health or be the next Fred Astaire, we have dance classes that can help.

WE WERE DANCE SCHOOL OF THE YEAR 2019.
