Bath School of Dance offers classes in classical ballet, contemporary dance and more. From those who want to dance purely for the enjoyment through to those with specific dance ambitions for the future, we provide a nurturing and inspiring environment for girls and boys of all levels and ages.
Our teachers are fully qualified and bring a wealth of experience, working together to encourage our students to take their Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations and participate in our end-of-year show, giving them the opportunity to gain experience of performing and to develop their confidence.
At Bath School of Dance we encourage a holistic approach to dance and our timetable of non-syllabus classes is carefully designed to complement and enhance RAD ballet training. We also recognise the importance of dance to our students’ physical and mental wellbeing and to their growth as individuals.

By working with people we believe are outstanding in their field, we aim to provide our students with a constantly evolving experience- something that is fresh, exciting and bang up-to-date.

Open every weekend during term time and workshops during the school holidays, come join the fun!
At Stagecoach we teach our students so much more than how to sing, dance and act. We help them blossom into well-rounded individuals, ready to embrace life and all its opportunities.
With 30 years’ experience in teaching the performing arts, we understand how to get the best out of our young performers. We delight in seeing our students have fun, make friends, learn new skills and discover hidden talents.
We encourage them to take ‘safe risks’ through rehearsals and performance, which brings out a willingness to take on new challenges. None of us know what the future holds, which is why it’s so important for today’s children to be resilient, brave and self-assured.
Furthermore you can rest assured that your child is in safe hands as we adhere to the strictest child safety policies.
As well as our weekly classes we also offer LAMDA, Trinity exams, performance opportunities locally and in the West End and our very own Stagecoach Agency.
