The Geraldine Lamb Dance School was founded in 1918 by the late Geraldine Lamb, Sue Cooks Grandmother. Following Sue’s training at Elmhurst Ballet School, one of the country’s leading professional dance schools, the Saltash School of Dance was established in 1984 and in 1997 the two schools joined forces to become one. Sue Cook is one of the few teachers in the area who holds the Teachers Certific

In 2004 Kirsty Nicholson joined the teaching faculty having trained at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dance, gaining her Licentiate of the RAD as well as her Teaching Degree. Kirsty is a former pupil of the school, she also holds the teaching qualification of the ISTD. Lara Cook joined us in 2017 having dance professionally and then gained the Royal Academy of Dance’s Professional Dancers Teachers Diploma. The school aims to encourage children to dance, build their confidence and develop their natural love of moving to music. We offer a variety of classes including ballet, tap, modern and jazz, with examinations taking place twice yearly in all disciplines, achieving very good results.
