Loved by families in Maidstone since 2002
Since opening our doors for our inaugural classes in Allington in 2002, Loose in 2004 and Madginford in 2006 thousands of children have chosen us for their classes. We have been privileged to teach so many individuals over the years and are delighted to welcome each one into our school and get to know what makes them thrive.
Child Centred Approach
Our children have a great time and love their weekly lessons, building confidence in themselves and making new friends. Two decades of experience means our carefully curated curriculum balances the learning of syllabus technique with creativity, and is wrapped up in fun.
Shine at Showtime
Our beloved Summer Spectacular Shows at the Hazlitt Theatre are all about enjoyment. Long after that curtain closes and those steps have been forgotten, it’s the memories of the day that will last and last for students, so we make sure those are happy ones.
We’ll teach you well, help you practice make sure you’re prepared come show day; then, if it all goes wrong on the stage, we’ll be there in the wings, encouraging you and spurring you on. Don’t sweat the steps; just love the moment!
Excel in Exams
We host sessions a year; Spring and Autumn with the IDTA meaning we are able to offer every student an exam when they are ready to take it. We are realistic about the aspirations of most students; here for fun and to gain some formal recognition for their efforts, so we make sure the exams are something to look forward to rather than dread. We have been doing IDTA exams since 2004 and know how to prepare our students within their lesson time and have an unblemished record of passes, merits and distinctions. If exams really aren't for you, don't worry you can progress through the syllabus alongside your peers regardless. We want you to love what you do, not feel obliged to jump through arbitrary hoops to to access the next steps in your dance journey.
Find your Flair
We've all got that something that lifts us up and makes us smile from the inside out; that's our Flair, we found ours in dance and we'll help you find yours too!
