Now under the loving stewardship of Ann's daughter Jane and her husband André Reynaud, the school continues to evolve, mirroring the ever-changing landscape of dance while preserving its core values of high-quality training in a caring, fun-filled environment.

We are proud to offer a diverse range of dance styles to suit every age and skill level, from classical ballet and tap to highland dance and creative movement.

Our guiding principles revolve around fostering appreciation and delight in dance, nurturing technical excellence, encouraging artistic growth and empowering self-confidence and discipline in our students.
