Dance Shack

DANCE SHACK was established in September 2006 by Lucy Holloway. Dance Shack was an opportunity to pass on her experience to students of all ages.

She has had 15 years of working professionally in the Musical Theatre business, as a singer/dancer/actress, as well as choreographer and resident director for both touring and West End shows. The school’s aim is to encourage everyone as an individual to gain confidence in performing in the three main areas of dancing, acting, and singing. Through good teaching, grounded in solid technique, a stude

nt’s confidence is able to flourish. Every teacher at Dance Shack has been trained at a top performing arts school and, most importantly, will have worked professionally and extensively in the business. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE AT DANCE SHACK: all our teachers have top-class experience in the professional theatre world. This maintains the highest standards and firmly roots the school in current working practices and gives students an understanding of the “real” performance world. Dance Shack is also about offering an enjoyable and friendly class where the student can gain confidence in daily life. It is impossible to list here all the ways that even a small amount of dance education can help improve everybody’s life, from sheer physical stamina, through improved co-ordination and posture to general well-being.

Our annual shows are the highlight of our students' and teachers' year. We work hard for months on end to provide each Dance Shack branch with a show day to remember. All classes do at least 2-3 numbers per show, so everyone gets a fair chance to shine on stage!

We have always circulated our yearly calendar around our shows, as they are the centre of our ethos; '𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐷𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒. 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟, 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑑 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑠, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑑. 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑢𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒.'

Of course, our shows are optional, but for the majority of our students this is their favourite day⭐
