Dance

Dance has a long and proud place at Dame Allan’s, valued for the confidence, creativity and individuality it fosters in pupils. From Junior School through to the Sixth Form, pupils are encouraged to explore movement and performance, both within the curriculum and through a rich co-curricular programme.

In Years 7 and 8, dance is taught within PE in our purpose-built studios, with pupils able to choose dance as a creative option in Year 9. At A Level, the subject offers a rigorous and expressive pathway for those wishing to study dance in greater depth. Pupils have gone on to train at leading conservatoires, including Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance and Italia Conti.

 

Beyond the classroom, a wide range of clubs spans ballet, jazz, contemporary and hip hop. There are five audition-only dance companies for committed and talented pupils, offering professional-level rehearsals, choreographic projects and opportunities to perform and compete at the highest level.
