We believe in the power of potential. Over the years, through careful nurturing, we have produced young people who go on to achieve excellence, be that in the performing arts industry or in the world of academia.  

The school differs from other ballet schools in that it does not follow any exam syllabi, but focuses instead on building technique and musicality. This provides students with the chance to develop as dancers with a real sense of individuality and expression, underpinned by a pure technique. Small classes ensure each student receives intensive training and personal support.

Performances are the key to the school's ethos. Two productions a year are performed at a West End theatre including The Nutcracker at Christmas, in partnership with The Du Boisson Dance Foundation. These performances provide the students with a unique opportunity to perform on stage in professional productions alongside guest artists from major companies.

The Young Dancers Academy's philosophy is to inspire in its students a love of learning, music and freedom of expression through dance. Skills gained through encouragement and discipline in the ballet and academic classroom can be applied to all aspects of their life beyond.
