Welcome to The Village School of Dance. We are dedicated to encouraging a love of dance and nurturing the next generation of dancers.

With two schools, set in the heart of Wimbledon Village and Royal Tunbridge Wells, we are an ever growing family of dancers who are always delighted to welcome new members into our community.

MEETour school

 

The Village School of Dance was started in 2008, by our Principal Katherine, and since then has grown to encompass the needs of all the dancers who attend. Across our two branches in Wimbledon Village and Royal Tunbridge Wells, we run regular productions and summer schools, as well as offering a full range of Ballet, Modern, Tap, Acrobatics, Pointe Work and Body Conditioning classes for children and adults, as well as Darcey Bussell’s brilliant high-intensity fitness class (which is also great fun!), DDMIX. More recently, we decided to build a competition team who dance and compete, representing our school in theatres around the South East. 

Our children’s Ballet lessons follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and the Modern and Tap classes follow the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance Syllabus. While following these syllabi, our wonderful teachers are dedicated to inspiring our dancers, pushing them to achieve their best and educating them in all aspects of the world of dance, in every lessons.

MEETour venues

 

The school is blessed with so many fantastic spaces for our dancers to leap around in. With beautiful high ceilings and steeped in history, not only do our venues offer an inspiring place to dance, their central locations allow our grown ups to browse the lovely boutique shops that Wimbledon Village and Royal Tunbridge Wells has to offer and grab a coffee. Parking is like gold dust in the towns, but two of our venues even provides spaces for free!

What They Sayabout us!

5/5
I have been taking DDMix classes for ages!!! I absolutely LOVE it! Katherine is a wonderful teacher, very engaging and enthusiastic. The exercises are amazing …. not only do they keep me fit but the different dance genres keeps my brain on its toes too! It is a really friendly and embracing class and I always look forward to it. Would highly recommend ……it’s a lot of fun!!!
Carys JonesDDMIX Student
I can’t praise The Village School of Dance highly enough. My daughter has been attending classes for 8 years and absolutely loves them. She’s reached high standards in ballet, tap and modern, has pointe shoes and can dance in them and has had excellent results in ISDT and RAD exams whilst still having fun. Now at the top end of the school and the end of the graded syllabi we look back at her time in the school and say thank you to Katherine and all the other teachers - it’s been special!

Suanne DixHappy Dance Parent
I started dancing with DDMIX 6 years ago and still love it as much as I did then! The teaching is brilliant and inspiring. It is the perfect way to exercise both physically and mentally - and have fun at the same time!

My daughter started ballet at 3 years old and has now progressed to pre primary ballet. She adores Miss Chloe and Katherine runs a lovely, friendly, welcoming school. The choice of music in the lessons in excellent - teaching the children musicality, discipline and above all to have fun!
