Fantastic teaching. Teachers build a real rapport with students and are very approachable. The school gives good opportunities to perform and to take examinations.

I attended this school 30 years ago and with their guidance and tuition I ended up dancing in a professional ballet company. Move forward 25 years and 2 of my children attended the school. The elder is now Working full time in a ballet company in Europe and has worked with Matthew Bourne and the younger has danced in LA and in Euro Disney. Still the best dance school in the North East!

If you want to learn from someone with years of experience then come here. My 17 year old son, Amonik Melaco, was trained by Miss Quinn in ballet and she pushed him to become good enough to audition at London schools when he was 15. Hes now in Professional training at Laine Theatre Arts. He had a great time touring Europe with their Dance Kaleidoscope and going to Los Angeles with Miss Quinn and dancers, as well as making lots of friends. We are so grateful and feel lucky that he went here.

The crème de la crème of dance schools - classes for nursery children right up to professional dancers. Gillian Quinn School of Theatre Dance provides more than just a dance class - it is a life changing experience. During 17 years at the dance school, I passed grades 1-8, plus all the professional exams through the Royal Academy of Dancing and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, with expert teaching from Miss Quinn, M.B.E. Dance Kaleidoscope offers the wonderful opportunity to perform internationally.
