Who we are
At Amersham Dance Studio, we believe dance should inspire, challenge, and bring joy.
One of the longest-established dance schools in the area, we provide high-quality training in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Street Dance, Contemporary, and Progressing Ballet Technique. Our classes are energetic, engaging, and carefully structured to ensure every student makes progress at their own pace.
We are proud to offer a nurturing and inclusive environment where students can develop their skills and confidence, whether dancing for fun or aiming for a career in the performing arts. Our experienced, passionate teachers encourage creativity, discipline, and teamwork - qualities that last well beyond the studio.
Students have the opportunity to work towards examinations, perform in our biennial theatre productions, and take part in performance opportunities throughout the year.
For us, dance is more than steps - it is a chance to learn, grow, and be part of a community.
What We Offer
Our weekly term-time classes cover a range of dance styles, so every student can find the one that inspires them most:
Ballet
The foundation of all dance styles, building strength, technique, posture, and musicality. Our Ballet classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, offering both graded and vocational training. Students develop discipline, body awareness, and artistry through a combination of barre work, centre practice, and performance-based choreography. Ballet provides the technical grounding that supports all other dance genres, while also encouraging expression and a love of movement.
Tap
A lively and rhythmic dance style where your feet become a percussive instrument. Our Tap classes follow the ISTD syllabus, developing musicality, timing, and precision through a combination of traditional steps and modern influences. Students learn to create intricate rhythms, improve coordination, and build confidence performing both set exercises and engaging routines. Tap is energetic, great fun, and an excellent way to develop a strong sense of rhythm that benefits all styles of dance.
Modern
A dynamic and versatile style that blends technique, strength, and expressive movement. Our Modern classes follow the ISTD syllabus and incorporate elements from lyrical, jazz, and contemporary styles. Students develop flexibility, coordination, and performance skills through both set exercises and imaginative choreography. Modern dance is energetic yet expressive, making it a perfect choice for building strong, adaptable dancers.
Street Dance
An energetic, commercial style inspired by music videos and current trends. Street Dance builds confidence, style, and performance presence while improving coordination, strength, and stamina. Classes feature upbeat routines to chart hits and classics, with a focus on musicality, individuality, and self-expression. It is the perfect class for dancers who love to perform with personality and flair.
Contemporary
Expressive and fluid, Contemporary dance blends ballet, lyrical and modern technique with freedom of movement, creativity, and storytelling. Students explore floor work, travelling sequences, and improvisation to develop a deeper connection between movement and emotion. Contemporary encourages individuality, creativity, and a strong technical foundation while fostering a greater understanding of performance as an art form.
Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
An innovative conditioning programme designed to enhance ballet technique through targeted muscle activation. Using equipment such as exercise balls and resistance bands, PBT improves core strength, alignment, flexibility, and muscle memory. Suitable for dancers of all styles, it is an excellent way to refine technique, prevent injury, and build the strength needed for safe, confident dancing.
