About Us
We are a friendly dance school based in South Ashford who strive to create a fun, challenging and creative atmosphere for our pupils.
We take pupils from 2.5 years upwards and welcome both girls and boys, teaching Ballet, Modern Jazz, Contemporary, Street, Tap and Technique & Flexibility.
Pupil input is important to us and at our dance school, pupil's ideas are valued and encouraged, creating a supportive atmosphere where they can flourish.
We regularly hold events where the pupils can showcase their talents. These include annual shows, public displays, charity events and opportunities to work with professional choreographers.
With members of the academy gaining entrance into University to study dance, employment as dancer's and the chance to perform with local dance companies, the Young Performer's Dance Academy strives to provide experiences in performance, with the structure of syllabi.
