Founded in Dulwich, SE21 as Grafton Dance Academy in 2001. In 2009 we moved to the former Royal Mail Sorting Office in the centre of Herne Hill, SE24 and were renamed South London Dance School.
We are delighted to have three professional standard dance studios of our own, each with sprung floors, mirrors and ballet barres. There are no other dance studios in this area with comparable facilities.
We now have over 750 students of all ages who participate on a weekly basis in the following classes:
We have an excellent reputation for providing outstanding dance classes for all ages whether for a hobby or in preparation for a career in dance.
All classes at South London Dance School are taught by inspiring and experienced dance teachers & performers. Our teachers consider each child individually; being aware of their physical progress and cognitive, emotional & social development.
Our classes promote confidence through achievement, develop skills for life such as self discipline & persistence, and provide an understanding of the importance of physical activity throughout life.
The class learn contemporary dance works by major artists, such as Akram Khan and Anne Teresa de Keermaeker, as well as create their own dance works.
We are fortunate to have a specialist Contemporary Dance teacher on our staff. Contemporary Dance is the preferred dance style for Key Stage 3 and 4 study and at Degree Level.
Contemporary Dance Course Is Offered By Chisenhale Dance. Chisenhale Dance Space grew out of the X6 collective. This was a group of five dance artists who wanted to work independently of any established company or organisation.
This class begins with some warm-up and technique exercises which focus on stability and gaining a general understanding of contemporary dance.
Our Contemporary dance workshops give a fresh way of looking at a subject. This increases the learning ability, especially for those less academic students. Any theme or topic can expressed through Contemporary Dance.
