St Augustines Priory School: Clubs
Dance offers children an exceptional opportunity to develop confidence, creativity, discipline, musicality, and physical awareness in a nurturing and inspiring environment. As a specialist ballet teacher, I provide high-quality tuition with the option to prepare pupils for Royal Academy of Dance examinations, enabling them to work towards internationally recognised qualifications while developing strong technical foundations, artistry, and performance skills. Lessons can be tailored to each child's aspirations, whether pursuing examinations, preparing for performances, or enjoying the lifelong benefits of dance. Thirty-minute lessons are offered on Fridays and may be booked individually or in small groups. Tuition is available in Ballet, as well as Modern, Contemporary, and Jazz.
