Boarding schools good for dance, but not specialist schools

17 replies

Looking for boarding schools with great dance options for DD for 11+ or 13+ entry. She's an academically able, enthusiastic recreational dancer and also into musical theatre/drama etc. Currently does 3 or 4 hours of dance classes every week (ballet, tap, jazz) and wants to be able to continue at a similar level.

Any recommendations for options? Location not too important as we can relocate.

Bryanston is good for performing arts, but I'm not sure about dance specifically.

Bedes
Kings Canterbury

Have a look at Bedes - they have the Legat Dance Academy onsite, so a 'normal' boarding school plus specialist dance.

We have it on the list as a possible for our DD - bright but highly dyslexic, very focused on performing arts/music. Knew lots of kids there when I used to live relatively nearby and there was nothing not to like.

Wellington has a growing dance department and offers dance scholarships.

Queenswood - offers dance scholarships from 14+ and GCSE and A-level dance. Wide range of dance styles available in terms of lessons and clubs.

Yes, another vote for St Edward's Oxford

Watch the dance clips from St Edward’s Oxford on their website they are really amazing. They were awarded 2nd best Drama/Dance dept in the Week Education awards, I think first place was the Performing Arts school Hurst House.
I saw Billy Elliot and Les Mis at Dauntseys School which also has exceptional dance.
Headington also has good dance on offer.

Definitely look at Bedes

St Edwards Oxford is fabulous for dance. Their head of dance is lovely and there is a huge range of classes and styles available. They have a dance scholarship available at 13+
