The school was originally established in 80's as the Lila Vincent School of Dance and Performing Arts, founded and run by Mrs Diane Parks. Fairway Hall in Borehamwood was the main studio. The school changed its name to Hertsmere Performing Arts to become more commercial and in 2008 Miss Chahna became Principal of the school after being a perminant teacher and assistant principal to Diane Parks for 5 years.
I began by learning ballet and later on started jazz and street dance, all were taught to the same high standard. I always felt supported and encouraged by Chahna and the school, we were definitely pushed to the best of our abilities but classes were still fun. I felt well prepared for exams and consistently got a good mark, along with the rest of the class.
Children start Ballet with us at the age of 3 years and can be selected to start taking exams/assessments from Pre-Primary level around 5-6 years. A student does not have to be the next Prima Ballerina to gain all the benefits that ballet has to offer. It is also an essential subject for maintaining core elements and a good foundation to all other dance subjects and is crucial in developing all round skills.
There are many forms of 'up-beat' dance and depending on the age and ability of our Students, they will learn most of them. In all classes, students are taught the importance of Body Conditioning by being made aware of the importance of warm up/cool down, strengthening and limbering exercises, essential for safety and self-improvement.
Tap has evolved as an American dance form, popularised throughout the world, with debate about its origins coming from African dance, Irish dance and/or clog dancing. The dancer uses their feet to strike the floor, beating out different rhythms, with dancers wearing tap shoes which have small metal plates on the toe and heel to give the distinctive sound.
