The Principal

Claire Chorley began Dancing at the Neale Academy of Dance in Coventry at the age of five. She soon discovered a love for dancing and took her exams, competed in Festivals and performed in shows until the age of twenty three. She then decided to open her own dance school.

As well as being a member of The Neale Academy of Dance, at the age of seventeen she became a member of The Coventry Youth Dance. It is here she discovered her love for Contemporary Dance which we can all see in her Choreography today.

Claire's pupils all compete in Festivals three times a year and regularly win numerous medals and trophies. She never picks her "best" pupils to take part in competitions and shows. She firmly believes all children, regardless of their talent, should be given the opportunity to perform in front of an audience.

Claire works hard to instil confidence into all her pupils and believes this is the most important part of her quest. She is very proud of her pupils and never tires of teaching them. Year after year she strives to improve their Dance technique and is very satisfied with their progress.

Adult Tap

This class is for all those avid tap dancers out there!

This class is suitable for all abilities from the beginner to the advanced tapper.

Classes are held at Wyken Community Centre on Tuesdays 8-9pm £5 per class (paid in 6 week blocks after a settling in period).

Tap is an excellent form of exercise and strengthens the legs and ankles.

A friendly welcome is assured. Age 14 to 74! Come and join the fun!

Testimonials

Paul Booth

Our daughter started with Claire just over a year ago and since starting we have seen Eloisa grow in confidence and the amount she has improved over the year has surprised and excited us. Her tricks in acro and her ballet and modern dancing are incredible, we can only thank Claire for all she has done for her and the belief she has in Eloisa. Many thanks.

Michelle Sidgwick

My daughter loves dancing at this dance school. Within a year my extremely shy daughter had become confident and outgoing. She has learnt a lot of life skills about team work, dedication and has made so many new friends. This school feels like a family as everyone looks after each other. The principal is extremely good at getting the best out of everyone and sets a good example to her pupils.

Julia Dark

Outstanding dance school. Brilliant pupils, lovely parents and fantastic teachers.

Hayley Parsons

I joined over 20 years ago, was not the best dancer but Claire always made me believe that I could be the best and to always give it a go. Many years later my children joined, my eldest was there for 11 ish years and she loved it. Then my youngest joined. Claire (the teacher) is very patient and caring to the kids but can be firm when needed. She has guided my children along their journey within their experience at the dance school and beyond. Would highly recommend.
