Our
Studio
Our bright and spacious studio is designed to provide a safe, professional, and inspiring environment for all who step inside. It’s fully equipped with wall-mounted ballet barres, full-length mirrors, and a sprung floor, making it ideal for dance, fitness, and movement-based activities.
The studio also features a dedicated changing room, a kitchen area, and three toilets.
We’re proud to offer this versatile space for private hire, perfect for workshops, rehearsals, or individual practice. Please get in touch for pricing and availability.
Ample free parking is available on-site in our large private car park, making it easy and accessible for all visitors.
Examinations
Students can take examinations with the RAD and ISTD, perform in local shows and events, compete in dance competitions, and enjoy exciting dance trips across the UK and further afield. We also offer regular workshops with guest teachers in our fully equipped studio.
Performances
Students are given many performance opportunities throughout the year. These range from our annual show at the local theatre to parades, local events and concerts. Our performance team also provide entertainment to the cruise ships visiting the Islands.
Competitions
For those who excel in their dance classes and wish to represent the school, students are selected to compete at competitions. We have had great success and it’s always a fun trip away!
DANCE TRIPS
Our dance families are all welcome to join Jo on dance/educational trips away. These are hugely popular and everyone always has a brilliant time! All abilities and ages are welcome. On our tips we take part in dance workshops, performances, see a variety of shows and musicals and of course there’s always a little time for shopping! Our previous trips have included locations such as London, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. We can’t wait to see where we go next!
PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are available on request. One-to-one coaching can help develop confidence, improve technique and support the work in any genre. Tailored to your individual needs, coaching can be used to supplement regular classes, as a booster prior to audition or performance preparation, or for personal development. Please enquire for prices.
