Royal Academy of Dance (RAD)
Graded and Vocational Syllabus classes
We follow the RAD syllabus which is a world leader in training and dance education. Each syllabus promotes enjoyment of ballet whilst focusing on musicality and creativity. The examinations and class awards reward the students for achieving a high level of technical competency and artistry.
ISTD Modern
(5 years and above)
Modern Theatre Dance is a rhythmical and energetic dance style rooted in musical theatre using travelling steps, leaps, turns and high kicks. Through a carefully planned examination syllabus combining modern dance, jazz and other dance styles our students are trained to become disciplined, dynamic and versatile dancers through the ISTD syllabus from Primary to Advanced 2.
ISTD Tap
(5 years and above)
Tap is a theatrical, percussive, fun and rhythmical dance style where dancers use their feet to strike the floor creating a distinct sound by the metal plates on their toes and heels. Through an internationally recognised syllabus inspired by the Great Tap Masters & influenced by African rhythms, Irish stepping and English clogging, our students study the ISTD graded work from Pre-Primary to Advanced 2 being trained in skill, rhythm and artistry.

We offer an expansive range of additional dance styles plus drama classes throughout the week. Classes on offer are commercial, jazz, street, lyrical/contemporary, stretch and conditioning all taught by our diverse and highly qualified members of staff.
