About this stage
Life in Juniors
By Juniors, students are building a real weekly schedule from the full range of disciplines. Many work towards graded ballet, modern and tap exams while exploring contemporary, commercial, lyrical, jazz, street dance and acro.
This is also where festival teams and solos begin, giving keen dancers a first taste of competition and real stage time. Theatre Company is open from age 6, so Juniors can already be part of a full production.
What we focus on
- Graded examinations with RAD, ISTD and TDSC
- Contemporary, commercial, lyrical, jazz, street and acro
- Festival teams, duets and solos
- Building a personal weekly timetable

“Absolutely fantastic dance school, my daughter has been there since she was 3 she is now 6 and has had so many opportunities including competitions, shows and this weekend even dancing at The Kings Theatre, London. She has grown from a shy 3 year old to a confident 6 year old. Thoroughly recommend.”
