I do not expect to discover the next Margot Fonteyn or Rudolf Nureyev through my teaching. It is very much my hope to open children's minds to the magic and wonder that dance holds for me and for them to experience a little bit of that for themselves through coming to these classes.

One of my priorities is to ensure the children are taught the correct technique right from the start. Not all children will continue with their dancing as they get older, however, if they do, the correct foundations have been laid.

That said, my absolute philosophy is that all students who have come under my care will look back on their time learning ballet and dance as a positive and enjoyable experience, where they felt encouraged, valued and cared for.

In addition to our philosophy, the aims of the school are to:

• Share and maintain students natural love of dance.
• Promote health, wellbeing, creativity and self-confidence.
• Build self-esteem, poise and confidence through praise and encouragement.
• Show dance is for everyone and has many benefits: Co-ordination, self discipline and self motivation, concentration and focus, communication and creative expression, co-operation through teamwork, courtesy, manners and caring for others.
