The school was established in the 1950's by Mrs Hill. Upon her retirement the school was taken on by her daughter, Elizabeth Lewis (nee Hill). Mrs Lewis then retired in 2006, and the school was taken over by Sheila Price.
Sheila moved here from Kent after running her own school in Tonbridge for over twenty years. Many of Sheila's ex pupils are now in ballet companies and musical theatre productions and more recent past pupils have gone onto full time Ballet or Dance & Drama schools throughout the U.K.
Sheila teaches Classical Ballet in the Cotswolds using the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus. Sheila is a registered R.A.D teacher and pupils are entered for R.A.D Ballet examinations.
Sheila has six children. All three of her daughters teach at the school. For more information about our teachers please see the 'Instructors' Tab.
Situated in the beautiful Cotswolds we offer a wide selection of classes in R.A.D Ballet from Pre Primary to Grade 8 and in I.S.T.D. Modern and Tap. We enter our pupils for R.A.D Ballet examinations throughout the year.
