Had an opportunity to meet the staff during an education session. I do consider that it was a meeting of two minds. I hope the team enjoyed our session and will consider the advice we provided. Lovely to meet you all.

An excellent college to pursue training in the Cecchetti method. An excellent preparation for a career in the theatre or as a dance teacher. Many of my former pupils have trained at KS dance. Superb teachers.

My Daughter has attended this school from the age of 6 (now 11) She loves every second she spends at KS dance. She continues to thrive in many ways, growing in confidence, learning skills that will stay with her for life, all encouraged by the wonderful teachers. I must also mention what a beautiful dancer she’s becoming/become!We are so lucky to… have a school that offers so much opportunity to young dancers, Pretty much on our doorstep. If my daughter decides dancing is the career for her (quite likely) I would be delighted if KS dance lead her to live her dreams

Such a professional set up with a wonderful faculty and nurturing environment. Aspirational to have the Junior school students able to see the College students dancing at the highest level. Cecchetti classical ballet, tap, modern at the core but other genres too and Summer and Easter courses available.
