About Us

40 years ago my mum Tanya decided to set up a Dance School. She orginally ran the classes at the bottom of her family home garden, using the sheds her dad had built. Once she had enough pupils she branched out and began teaching at halls in and around the Haddenham area.

In 1999 when Tanya died it was her wish for me (Kerry) to continue running the Dance School - and so now here we are celebrating 40 years running the same business, and I'm sure you'll all agree a successful one at that!

It's gone from just a few classes a week in one village to over 35 classes a week in over nine different villages; from two styles of dance to a wide range of styles, which now include Children's Parties, Workshops and work in Schools; and from one to now four teachers.

It gives me great pleasure to continue my mother's work; she was always my inspiration and will always continue to be. I hope my Dance School can bring the same kind of inspiration to your children both now and for years to come.

The year's work culminates in a 'Summer Spectacular' in which all 300 or so children have the opportunity to demonstrate just exactly what they have been getting up to!

In addition, each Christmas the Street Dance classes get together for a slightly smaller but no less exuberant Show, and those classes which do not take part (Ballet, Tap and some of the younger students) are able to invite their families and friends to see at first hand how they behave in class.

More on these Shows can be seen on the Shows page.

Many of the students have progressed right the way through from Baby Ballet to the later stages, and continue to benefit from the aims Kerry has brought to the school. Her idea is to cultivate a sense of confidence and teamwork in the boys and girls who attend, by including them in the planning of the dances as well as in their execution. The children have the opportunity to be involved in the whole piece they are working on, from choosing the music to deciding on which steps to use. This has proved very successful, and it is a pleasure to see how enthusiastic they are about their participation in the process.
