HDS is a proud Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet studio. Our dancers feel a sense of pride and achievement as they progress through each ballet grade each year.​
​
Pointe preparation and pointe work is introduced at this level and dancers are encouraged to participate in Intermediate Foundation alongside thier graded classes.​
​
Dancers can also participate in contemporary and ISTD modern dance, a compliment to their ballet training and a chance to explore different dance styles.​
​
Dancers are invited to do regulated examinations for both ballet and modern as well as perform in annual shows and Performance Awards.​
​
Our beautiful studios are fitted with mirrors and ballet barres.​
