welcome to the school

'We believe in dance, join us on our journey'

About us

Penelopes has been successfully training children to dance in Birmingham for over 41 years.

​

We specialise in Classical Ballet & Contemporary Dance Training. The school welcomes children from 18months to Adult learners to our inclusive dance classes that are designed to inspire, educate and nurture.

 

We hold external examinations 3 times a year with both The Royal Academy of Dance and IDTA. Our results average distinction+. 

We believe examinations should be seen as markers of your childs learning and not the sole reason for dancing!

PRINCIPAL

ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL AFFILIATE TEACHER
RAD RTS | ISTD | RAMBERT GRADES | IDTA FELLOW

I strive to create happy, confident and well informed dancers whilst helping them to develop musicality, communicative and performance skills.

 

I study the emerging science of best possible teaching practice to enable young dancers to achieve their maximum learning benefit from each visit to the school. 

 

Through careful, guided teaching I create a safe, non-judgemental space for learning. Where success is measured by your childs happiness and the ability to move freely with ease whilst developing musicality and self-confidence.
