Strong Foundations Matter
New to dance and unsure what to look for when choosing a dance school?
Just like learning a musical instrument or a new language, dance skills should be built progressively over time. Strong foundations allow children to advance confidently, enjoy long-term success and avoid gaps in their training.
Our carefully structured curriculum ensures students develop age-appropriate skills at every stage, creating confident dancers and capable performers. Every class has a purpose, and every student's progress matters.
Training You Can Trust
EDA students train through internationally recognised programmes, including:
• Royal Academy of Dance (RAD)
• Rambert Grades
• Acrobatic Arts
• Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
These programmes provide clear progression, recognised achievements and high-quality training standards.
Performance & Achievement Opportunities
Students have opportunities throughout the year to challenge themselves, celebrate their achievements and create lasting memories through:
• Dance examinations
• Annual theatre productions
• Community performances
• Workshops and masterclasses
• Competition Squad opportunities
These experiences help students build confidence, stage presence, teamwork and a sense of achievement.
Classes for Every Stage
We welcome children from their very first steps through our Eminence First Steps programme, continuing through childhood, teenage years and adulthood.
Whether attending one class a week or pursuing advanced training across multiple disciplines, every student is encouraged to progress at a pace that is right for them.
A Message from Our Principal
"The steps children take in the studio often become the skills that guide them through life. Choosing the right dance school is an investment in your child's future, and strong foundations from the very beginning can make all the difference. At EDA, we combine high-quality training with encouragement, helping every student build confidence, resilience, discipline and a lifelong love of movement."
"As someone with ADHD and dyslexia, I understand that every child learns differently. Creating an environment where children feel understood, valued and able to succeed is at the heart of everything we do. My goal is not only to develop excellent dancers, but confident young people who carry the skills they learn in the studio into every aspect of their lives."
– Miss Emilie, Principal & Founder
