Dance and Perfroming Arts at St Andrew's Prep

Learning self-expression in the most modern of facilities

Dance is a wonderfully expressive art form and very popular amongst St Andrew’s Prep children. Our beautiful, new, purpose built dance studio is light and airy with sprung floors, wall to wall barres and full length mirrors giving all children an inspirational space to explore dance and movement.

We develop dance by offering different forms of dance and opportunities for pupils to participate at all levels throughout the school. In the Pre-Prep, dance is incorporated within the EYFS for the Nursery and Reception and then as a specialist class of either ballet or modern dance for all of Year 1 and Year 2.

In the Prep school various dance clubs are offered for Years 3 to 8 in timetabled activity sessions. Classes cover graded ballet, contemporary, jazz and modern. Tap classes are offered to pupils as a lunchtime club. A Dance Troupe meets weekly and prepares items for public performances. Performance opportunities are to be found in annual dance presentations and school productions. Any pupils wanting to further specific skills can take up private one to one or small group sessions. St Andrew’s pupils have performed publicly with Southern Youth Ballet.
