Jersey Academy of Dancing

About us

Jersey Academy offers dance classes, in a wide variety of styles, for pupils of all levels, abilities and ages.  Whether it is your child’s first fun steps, you want to pursue a career in dancing or you just wish to take up an evening class there is something for everyone.

We believe our training offers our students an all-round education, consisting of three interlinked elements –Technique, Musicality & Performance. Every student has their own unique qualities that need to be valued and allowed to develop. Our happy and friendly atmosphere helps nurture them and supports growth both as performers and as people.

We pride ourselves on our modern approach combined with traditional values. Our classes help encourage correct deportment, graceful physical development and associated confidence emerges naturally from the training offered. Attending dancing helps encourage many other useful life skills including perseverance, discipline, teamwork, dedication and self confidence.

Having taken charge of the school Miss Reynolds is now the only teacher on Jersey that has been awarded an ISTD Fellowship, this has led to closer links to Bird College with Laura teaching on campus 2 days a week.
