Next Exam Sessions are Sunday 22nd June, Sunday 29th June, Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th July

We will be hosting our next IDTA Dance Exams sessions, in our Stoneleigh Studio, on Sunday 22nd June, Sunday 29th June, Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th July. Classes will run as normal on the morning of Saturday 12th July.

Results from our March sessions were outstanding - very high marks for all those that graded. Well done everyone - we are so proud of you all.

Exams are not compulsory but dance Exams are a great way to keep your child's skills sharp and ensure they're ready for any opportunities that come their way. They offer a chance for children to test their skills in front of an examiner, and also gives them the chance to work on their technique as well as their confidence.

Thursday 17th April 2025

We are so proud of all our dancers that participated in the "Stars of Tomorrow" performance at the iconic Wimbledon Theatre on Thursday 17th April. It was an incredible experience & a wonderful performance from all that were involved.

Well done everyone & thank you for creating so many more magical memories!

Charity Funds Raised

We raised £100 from our Spring Term Charity Week for the Lucy Rayner Foundation. Many thanks to those that contributed.

Jenny Rayner and her family were tragically faced with the impact of mental illness when their daughter Lucy took her own life at the age of 22. This life-changing event inspired Jenny and her family to begin campaigning about the mental health challenges faced by many young adults. the family quickly found that the support and help available to recognise and treat young adults with mental health challenges was woefully inadequate and significantly underfunded.

Jenny also discovered that her passion and tenacity to address these issues was shared by many others. Using her strong business acumen, entrepreneurial skills, and over 30 years of experience in marketing, media and event management, Jenny found herself perfectly positioned to make an impact in raising awareness of this critical problem.

Our next charity event will be at the end of term.

Parkinson's MEDS Classes

Do you know someone living with Parkisnon’s? If you do - they may like to try my Parkinson’s MEDS classes that I have run for the past 8 years.

My Parkinson's MEDS (Movement, Exercise, Dance, Socialise) classes have been a source of joy, vitality and community for individuals living with Parkinson's and I would love to invite anyone living with Parkinson’s to come along and give it a go!

Parkinson's MEDS is more than just a dance class - it's a holistic approach to wellness that combines movement, exercise and social connection to empower you on your journey towards improved physical and emotional well-being. My sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where you can embrace the joy of movement, find strength in camaraderie and discover the transformative power of dance.
