A lifelong love of dance starts here

A school where careful teaching, personal progress and the delight of movement belong together.

The school’s ethos

Potential is individual

Linda Butler School of Dance aims to develop each child to their own full potential. Pupils learn the discipline and complexity of dance while retaining the sheer delight of movement.

Teaching links music and movement so that pupils grow in understanding as well as technique, supported by experienced staff in a caring and happy atmosphere.

Different ambitions, equal care

From a joyful hobby to professional training

Some former pupils have danced professionally or become choreographers and teachers. Many others have enjoyed dance as a lasting and rewarding part of their lives.

Strong foundations

Structured RAD and ISTD pathways help pupils understand what they are learning and where it can lead.

Confident expression

Technique supports artistry, musicality and the confidence to perform.
