Our Principal Our fantastic principal is called Wendy Lewis-Allsopp. She teaches most of our dance classes and is assisted by other well-qualified, experienced dance teachers.
Wendy began studying dance with Miss Catherine Blellock in Leigh-On-Sea, Essex. By the time she was 12, Wendy had joined the Arts Educational School in Tring, specialising in Ballet & Music. Following this, she joined the Royal Ballet School Teacher Training Course aged 16, before graduating as Head Student in 1975.
Wendy came to Winchester to take over a small dance school previously run by former Olympic athlete, Maureen Gardner. The school now trains both aspiring professional dancers and students who simply see dancing as a hobby.
Mrs Lewis-Allsopp is also currently assisting the ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing), mentoring established teachers wanting to further their education and examination status in Dance Studies.
The Benefits of Attending a Dance School Dancing doesn't have to just be for those wanting to pursue a career in that field. There are many health, lifestyle and social benefits of attending dance classes. We've listed some below.
1. It's great exercise
Dancing provides you with both aerobic and anaerobic movements; something your body will thank you for. Dancing will help you keep fit, tone your body and even encourage weight loss (if you're an adult and think you need it, of course!).
2. It'll make you more flexible
Dancing stretches your body into new positions, that, in time, will cause you to be more flexible. Because who doesn't want to be able to do the splits?!
3. It helps to reduce stress
When the body feels good, the mind does, too. Everyone knows how exercise has been proven to reduce stress & anxiety. Our dance lessons provide a great escape from the stresses of day-to-day life.
4. It'll boost your social life & social skills
Our classes are a great way to meet new friends and build confidence in those who have little.
