Southwell Dance School opened in September 2008 providing high quality dance training in Classical Ballet, Modern Jazz and Tap dancing.

Southwell Dance School offers classes in Classical Ballet (Royal Academy of Dance), Modern Jazz and Tap (International Dance Teachers Association).

Although not compulsory pupils are encouraged to take medal tests and examinations to reward their hard work and commitment.

Pupils are encouraged to participate in associate programmes with dance companies and opportunities for auditions and workshops are promoted regularly.

Collectively the principals of Southwell Dance School have a wealth of industry knowledge including performing, choreography and teaching. The school works to ensure that individual goals are achieved through the provision of training and access to opportunities.

Southwell Dance School aims to highlight the many and achievable progression routes available within the performing arts and every other year stage a show for pupils to share their hard work and achievements.

The school's professional endorsers provide both the students and the teachers an accessible link to those in the performing arts industry and they will regularly deliver workshops, and share insight and advice.

Fundamental to all of the above is the individual student's enjoyment and achievement.
