Pirouette Academy of Dance offers children aged from 3 years and upwards the opportunity for first class training in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Acro, National, Greek and Musical Theatre.
Younger children are introduced to ballet through Melody Bear – a fun and exciting training style where the children get to bring their teddies to dance!
Children can begin dancing at any age and be any level when they start with us – we even hold an Adult Tap Class on Wednesday evenings! We aren’t just for young ladies - we encourage boys to join and are delighted to have several boys already in each of our age groups.
Pirouette Academy of Dance’s best advert is our success! We have excellent examination results and our pupils have been awarded cash prizes at national competitions.
Children will progress though their grades at a pace that suits them. The skills pupils learn at Pirouette are not solely for the stage, children learn valuable lessons for life, promoting self-confidence, expression, self-reliance, physical strength, co-ordination and agility.
Founded in 1987 by Principal Jayne Wing, Pirouette Academy has produced many talented pupils who have gone on to careers in dance. Many past students are currently on the West End Stage, are seeing the world dancing on cruise liners, some are touring as dancers with pop groups others go on to a career in teaching. Many of our pupils are offered places at top performing arts colleges and schools including Birds College, Laines, London Studio and Northern Contemporary.
We produce a spectacular and colourful show every two years and pupils can also choose to perform in local dance competitions, gaining stage experience and confidence. Pupils have been selected to appear in many professional shows and have reached the finals of I.S.T.D. awards with many receiving prizes!
