✔️ We have a zero tolerance approach to any toxic behaviour. You have to be the right people for our community as well as us being right for you.

We are SO excited to be offering Rambert Grades from September for our upper students, yr 6 +

The Rambert Grades syllabus provides Contemporary Dance training, with material developed by leading experts in dance education and performance material created by some of the most exciting companies and choreographers, including Matthew Bourne, Hofesh Shechter, and ZooNation.

Rambert Grades is all about nurturing individuality through dance - helping every student find their voice, unlock their creativity, and develop skills that go far beyond the studio. Each grade focuses on three key strands: Technical, Performance, and Creative—giving students the tools they need to thrive in the professional dance industry or simply foster a deep love of this incredible artform into adulthood.
