Dance Schools

If you want to learn particular dance styles, from ballet, tap or modern, to jazz, stage or ballroom, disco or latin, and also work towards exams in these styles, find out about attending part-time classes at your local dance school.

Search on Google for ‘Dance Schools UK’ (or your local town) to locate your nearest school, or see a list of registered dance teachers within your area in the Directories of Dance Teachers section on the Council for Dance Education and Training (CDET) website http://www.cdet.org.uk/directory_reg.php
