LOUISE EMMA ACADEMY of DANCE

ABOUT THE ACADEMY
The Dance Academy has been created completely from scratch and in a fantastic new premises on Tahi Road which has been transformed into a purpose built Studio with new Dance floor and full length Mirrors among other things.
The school is being built up to cater from preschool right through to adults currently offering class in Modern, Ballet, Street Dance and Conditioning. We take children as soon as they are walking and there is something for the once a week children who just want to have fun through to the children who want to seriously commit to dancing and do more. Classes will be entered into the timetable by demand and interest so we can cater for every age group. There will be performance opportunities with the school offering a annual show and those pupils who shown high commitment and natural talent will get the opportunities to perform at extra events and competitions. The school aims to offer a high standard of discipline and training of technical dance whilst in a friendly fun environment. We are now into term 3 but new pupils can join at any point so please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested.
