About our schoolOur school caters to a range of students, from those wishing to dance as a hobby through to those seeking pre-professional training in preparation for a career in dance.
We pride ourselves on being a traditional dance school with fully-qualified dance teachers. Our school is family-run and is not a franchise. In 2018, we celebrated our school's 40th anniversary. Classical ballet is widely recognised as the foundation for all dance styles, as it provides technical training, strength and a highly-developed body awareness. Although classical ballet is at the heart of all training at our school, we also offer classes in other styles. These enhance and complement our ballet training, enabling students to expand their knowledge of dance and become a well-rounded dancer. Our classes prepare students in all aspects of dance: sound technique, musicality and artistry. The school nurtures a passion for dance in all students. Although we encourage hard work and dedication, we do so in a kind, caring and friendly environment – something parents, pupils and even non-members of the school frequently comment on. Great friendships are often formed between students that last for many years, as they all share a common interest — a love of dance! 
Since September 2017, our school has offered Silver Swans® ballet classes for the over 55s. Our Silver Swans® classes in Bury were part of the pilot scheme by the Royal Academy of Dance, where only 120 teachers across the world were initially licensed – we were the first school to offer Silver Swans® classes in Lancashire.
We now have over 80 Silver Swans® attending ballet classes each week ranging from complete beginners to ex-professional ballet dancers – our Silver Swans® classes have been featured on BBC Two's Darcey Bussell: Dancing to Happiness, BBC North West Tonight, BBC Radio Manchester Breakfast and Drivetime show, That's Manchester TV, The Times, The Daily Express and in local newspapers. |
