ABOUT THE SCHOOL
The Dance School was established by Lucy Heafield in 1991. From the outset, the reputation of the School has been built on high quality teaching, to enable all dancers to reach their full potential. Unlike other Schools the focus is on continual improvement in ability and technique. Each class is focussed on learning the appropriate dancing and gymnastics skills to be able to take and pass professional examinations with the International Dance Teachers Association (I.D.T.A). The School is proud of its 100% pass rate for all students that have taken exams.
The School has over 100 students ranging from 3 years to adults. All classes are led by appropriately qualified teachers and as important, by teachers who firmly believe that classes should be fun as well.
ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL
Lucy Heafield is a Fellow Member of the International Dance Teachers Association (F.I.D.T.A) and qualified examiner. Teaching solely now at her own School, Lucy has also taught at the Midland Academy of Dance and Drama (M.A.D.D.) as well at Schools in the local area. In addition, as an accredited examiner Lucy visits other Dance Schools across the United Kingdom to assess the performance of students taking dance exams as well as adjudicating at regional Dance Festivals. This ensures that the most upto date and highest standards of dance are provided at her own school.
