The school was originally founded in 1959 by Betty Jarvis, and is now run by her daughter Maria Barnes.
The original focus was on Ballroom and Latin American dancing, and although we still keep up a high standard of teaching in these areas, we have also expanded the styles taught to include Rock & Roll, Country & Western as well as some fun freestyle dances. We encourage the students to work hard throughout the school year ending with an exam every July in which the children are awarded trophies and plaques by the International Dance Teacher's Association (IDTA). |
