Bryl started dancing when he was 5 years old and competed in major championships having many successes. At 16, he turned professional and established Shaftesbury Dance in 1968. He has been a full time teacher since then. He has always worked exclusively in dance. In 1986, he became the youngest examiner to be appointed by the IDTA at that time (he showed that you did not have to be old to have the experience and skills to be a good examiner).
Bryl is now one of the most highly qualified and respected Ballroom Branch examiners in the country. One of his passions in training new teachers to achieve the high standards expected by the IDTA - proving if you want to be a teacher, the best person to train you is an examiner.

Don't worry if you are unsure of which style to choose, we can help to point you in the right direction. You can find that one style will often help you to learn another dance/style, more quickly. Why not try them all and see which you like? Just because it is not listed here it does not mean we don't do it!
Have you ever noticed that when your child's favorite tune is played, they just want to dance? They may swing their arms or run around as if possessed. Music and dance, to a child, are the same. They can't hear one without doing the other. Dancing, for a child, can be the ultimate confidence booster.
We have 2 Dance Studios on two floors and a coffee room, where parents are welcome to relax in a comfortable space whilst waiting for their children. Light refreshments are available. Also, our dance shop stocks a range of dance shoes and clothing for all styles, including own school uniforms. We can always order anything you require, if it is not in stock.
