We offer the opportunity for exams, hold a bi-annual full scale production for all students aged 5yrs+, a annual smaller scale production for our youngest students and novice singers, an annual acting showcase as well as taking part in various local performances and events. For those wishing to pursue a serious path in the arts we offer private training for festivals and competitions, audition technique and extensive mentoring for preparation into being audition ready for that next stage. We also have a dance company that qualifying students can audition for.
“Although DSA is a dance school, it gives our daughter so much more than steps and routines- confidence, imagination, friendships and discipline. She loves her dance classes and we love seeing her so happy and excited every Saturday morning for her ballet and tap lessons. Thank you DSA!”
– H. Garbett
“The dedication and enthusiasm of Jo and the team at DSA is wonderful. There is very much a team ethos throughout the Academy, with the older students being a source inspiration to the younger ones. The discipline that is required is a wonderful life skill, learnt in a fun and energetic environment. I can’t imagine Holly being as happy anywhere else!”
– C. Medhurst
“My daughter has been dancing with DSA since she was 3 years old. She started with tap but over the years has added almost all genres.
DSA is her happy place.
The bi annual shows are to an amazing standard, you see the enjoyment in the kids faces & how proud they are to be part of DSA.
Jo, Zöe and the rest of the DSA team are extremely knowledgeable & supportive to the students in class, exams rehearsals and through each of the individual students dance journeys.
Thank you!”
– S. Smith
“My daughters (15 and 9) both started at DSA at the age of 2 and I can’t recommend DSA enough. To watch their confidence grow and to see them on the stage is the best thing ever. It’s not just the dancing either, it’s the friendships they have made along the way. You can’t beat it!”
