Sapphire Dance and Drama Academy specialises in providing a fun and nurturing environment for the very young allowing them the freedom to explore the world around them in a creative way, thus building their self-confidence for their journey in life. As they progress, technique is given the greatest priority whilst maintaining the key ingredient – enjoyment. Many of our students are selected to dance in a host of settings; Classically with the English Youth Ballet, London Children’s Ballet, National Youth Ballet and the Royal Ballet School. Others have enjoyed appearing at the Orchard Theatre and other local theatres in professional pantomimes and touring musicals such as “Annie” and “South Pacific”.
Many of our students are successful in auditioning for the most prestigious dance/drama colleges in the country at 16/18 years old; however we also cater for and welcome those who want to dance, sing or act purely for fun and know that the skills they learn during their time with us will equip them in later life.
