The school is based in Nottingham and opened in November 2011 by principle Katie Wright.
We offer dance classes to boys and girls from the age of 18 months right through to adults.
Pupils are trained in ISTD Ballet, Tap, and Modern Theatre and in addition have the opportunity to participate in Acrobatic Arts classes, Progressing Ballet Technique, Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theatre and singing classes.
The children are all encouraged to perform in our show that takes place at Nottingham Playhouse and have been taking part in festivals around the midlands where as a school we have enjoyed much success.
We give the children as many opportunities as possible and have most recently appeared in Debenhams and John Lewis Nottingham and in the nationwide Wilkos advertisement. We have danced at Disneyland Paris and London's O2.
Examinations are held at the school's venue where the child's progress and development is assessed using ISTD graded syllabus.
Our teachers are fully qualified in the genre they teach, hold a DBS certificate, first aid trained and able to teach children of all ages and abilities and children are able to enrol throughout the year.
For further information, please contact the principle of the school via our contact us page.

KWSD students appear alongside Britain's Got Talent stars
Ten of our students had the amazing opportunity to perform at Nottingham's Theatre royal alongside Britain's got talent stars and West End leading performers.
The girls performed three times in the show and were an absolute credit to the school. So professional and they performed beautifully.
We have had wonderful feedback from the audience and cast on what superstars they were.
Well done, we are extremely proud!
