...opened in Stockwell in 1972
and moved to Longfield Hall in 1993. Donald and his wife
Phyllida, having danced for many years with the Royal Ballet and London's Festival Ballet (now called
English National Ballet), wanted to pass on their knowledge
and passion for dance... they have been doing it
for forty years!
The School offers classes in a
wide variety of dance genres, as well as singing and
drama, all with highly qualified teachers. It currently has
more than 150 pupils ranging in age from infants under
five to senior students in their eighties.
Students participate in regular performances at
Longfield Hall and in local community arts productions. The
School also stages a major show biennially, with profits going
to charity. In recent years these performances have been at
the Secombe Theatre in Sutton. "Stage Club" is a very popular feature of the School,
encouraging an all round musical theatre approach. The success
of the Saturday Club has led to the creation of Stage Clubs on
Thursdays and, most recently, on Wednesdays for younger
students. The School
provides instruction to students at various levels from hobby
to R.A.D. and I.S.T.D. Certificate standards and Spanish Dance Society
examinations. It is dedicated above all to the
appreciation, beauty and craft of dance and
music. Donald and
Phyllida McAlpine Notices Summer Term 2012 dates. Advance Enrolment Form |
