About Us

Charnwood School of Dance was established in 1982 and was taken over by the current owners in 2020.
We offer the highest standard of teaching in all aspects of dance in a warm, friendly and professional atmosphere. The strength of this approach is reflected in our excellent examination and competition results.
We offer weekly classes to children from the age of 3 to 18 years as well as a variety of adult classes.
