With more than 45 years of experience, we are proud to offer high-quality dance education in a warm, encouraging and nurturing environment where every child is valued for who they are.
Whether your child dreams of dancing professionally or simply wants to enjoy the magic of ballet, music and movement, there is a place for them here.

Where every dance journey is unique 🩰

We believe that dance is about so much more than learning steps.Through ballet and our wider programme of dance and performing arts, our students are encouraged to develop:
Confidence • Creativity • Musicality • Coordination • Self-expression • Performance skills
and, most importantly, a lifelong love of dance.
Our teaching combines strong classical foundations with imagination, artistry and creativity, allowing children to learn, progress and flourish at their own pace.
From our youngest dancers taking their first magical steps into the world of ballet, through to students following graded and vocational pathways, we support each child on their own individual journey.
Our holistic approach to ballet education embraces different learning styles and individual needs. 

A school built on experience and passion

Anthea King, is an alumna of the prestigious Royal Ballet School, where she received exceptional classical ballet training  from the age of 11yrs that has continued to influence her teaching throughout her career.
For more than four decades, that experience has been combined with a deep understanding of children, their individual needs and the many different reasons they choose to dance.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, creativity and confidence that dance can bring.
