Our Classes
Dance teaches children and young people coordination, rhythm and creativity as well as being great for physical health and flexibility. It encourages socialisation and enhances emotional and cognitive development. At the Pamela Howard School of Dancing, we offer three types of dance.

We also offer adult ballet classes and Silver Swan ballet classes.
