East London Dance School

In the summer 2009 Allan was encouraged by the local community around Victoria Park to open a school that would give the children of Tower Hamlets and Hackney an opportunity to attend regular ballet classes.

After very little consideration the first class started in September 2009 and the support has been overwhelming. Going into the 9th year this year the children have danced in many shows by the school and improved their dancing and added high exam results to their achievements.

Aims:

To encourage joyous creativity, artistic courage and acknowledge the possibilities within one self. Educate each person in making the best one can do, be respectful to others and create good in all matters of life.

Ethos:

The school’s determination lies in its efforts to create good in all aspects of human and environmental life.

The school (ELDS) highly welcomes all backgrounds, cultures, race and religion. The school keeps all recorded personal information in strict confidentiality (Data Protection Act 1998) and adheres to Health and Safety procedures to ensure each child dances in a class appropriate to their level of development. The school has a Children Safeguarding Policy in place that is updated every year.
