Introduction to Cranleigh Dance and Theatre Arts

Cranleigh Dance & Theatre Arts is a School of around 200 pupils which runs after normal school hours on Monday to Friday at the St. Nicolas Church Rooms, Church Lane, Cranleigh.

Pupils take classes in Ballet, Modern and Tap at Grade and Major level and regularly enter examinations set by the Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.) and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (I.S.T.D.). Children can start Ballet at three, Tap and Modern Dance at five. We run classes at various age and ability levels in Jazz, Musical Theatre and Singing. There are Adult Tap classes for both Beginners and Advanced.

The School produces Dance and Musical Performances at local theatres and has hosted workshops run by performers from London’s West End. There are Choreography Showcases for students to show their own work and our School year ends with Prize Giving and the Senior Leavers’ Dinner.

We entertain at local events, fetes and festivals and the School has taken part in Gala Evenings to raise money for local charities. We have also taken dancers to perform at local Nursing and Old People’s Homes. We hold our own charity fund-raising events.
Cranleigh Dance & Theatre Arts strives to communicate a love of dance to all its students and encourages them to enjoy and appreciate the art of dance. We encourage pupils to develop self-discipline and self-motivation together with a sense of pride in their own achievements and in the achievements of other pupils and of the School.

The School aims to work in an open and co-operative way with pupils and their families and to foster and respect each student’s independence. We also recognise and respect the uniqueness, dignity and potential of every student and offer appropriate guidance for further progress. The School is geared to helping each child towards achieving their full potential; not only those students who wish to make their careers in the field of dance or the theatre but also those who wish simply to enjoy their once a week class.
