Welcome to Minnie Skerrett’s Dance and Performance Studios.

Our aim is to inspire dancers of all ages to work hard and have fun. We are a family-run, friendly school offering a variety of dance classes for all abilities with an exceptional standard of teaching.

Established in 1960, The Minnie Skerrett School of Dance was one of the first ballet and tap schools in the area. It is a purpose built dance school with two good size studios including one sprung floor and full length mirrors.

We offer classes in a number of genres including ballet, tap, contemporary and freestyle - following the British Ballet Organisation (BBO) syllabus for ballet and tap, and the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) syllabus for our freestyle classes. We offer regular examination opportunities as part of this syllabus training, with a very strong track record of results.

The school is known for its full scale productions that are performed every other year at one of the local theatres. These shows are a particular favourite of the students with Cats, Annie, Joseph and Chicago to name but a few of our past performances. We also invite parents into classes on a regular basis to showcase ongoing exam and class work.
