Based at Gedling Memorial Hall and Performing Arts Centre Wheldon School Carlton. We follow the structured examination syllabus of the Royal Academy of Dance and pupils are entered for examinations from Pre Primary to Advanced 2 level. However exams are not compulsory, importance is placed on enjoyment and appreciation of dance as an activity and art form. A Broad training is offered with RAD Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz & Tap, Pre School, Adult Ballet and Jazz classes.

My 2 daughters started ballet here 18 months ago and they were both made to feel very welcome and have thrived ever since. Now aged 7 and 12 their flexibility has improved incredibly and the classes are fun, yet maintaining the discipline required for this dance. There are many other dance opportunities provided within the school; my daughter has now added tap/stage to her ballet! Plenty of chances to perform and to take graded RAD exams if required, but there is never any pressure!
