It is a family run business which was established in 1931. It is now in the hands of the third generation of the family, along with a large team of talented and enthus

iastic teachers. Classes and private tuition is available from the team of highly qualified and motivated dance teachers, as well as the Principles Michael Conway, Mavis Whiteside and Hayley Conway. The Principals are extremely experienced in their field of dance and performing arts – some of their credits include:
