Established in 1983, we provide a platform in all dance and musicality skills for all of our students whether beginner or more experienced, from the youngest to our adult dancers. Provide, in a caring environment, artistic training of the highest standard, monitoring room for improvement in a positive atmosphere to improve skills and enjoy the gift of dance and music. Children are encouraged to 'give something back to the community' by raising funds from their dancing for Marie Curie and Macmillan, for example through the sale of show programmes. In 2017 we will be dancing for the residents of Dormy House and hope to make this a regular event.
At the Vanessa Gardner Academy of Dance we specialise in classical ballet, tap and modern dance. We have Recognised School status with the Council for Dance, Education & Training.
