Brewer Dance Academy St Albans

Based in St Albans, (see VENUES) Brewer Dance Academy, or BDA for short, started life as the Stephanie Ledger School of Dancing, established by former examiner Stephanie Ledger in 1972.

The dance school is now run by lifetime member and official lifetime registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance, Mrs Helen Brewer, who has been principal of the school since 2014.

Students gather around the piano. Brewer Dance Academy runs ballet lessons with live music.

Our dance school welcomes children from age 3 upwards and in term time we are open six days a week. (See TIMETABLE).

We believe live music is vital for developing musicality in young dancers and are proud to employ highly qualified pianists in most of our ballet classes.

Ballet lessons for all genders and ages in St Albans include barre work.

All our ballet students can choose to be entered into

Royal Academy of Dance exams.

These are a fantastic way to mark progress, and there are other benefits too. For example, from Grade 6 upwards students can earn UCAS points along with their exam certificate, and success at Intermediate level can be the first step towards becoming a dance teacher.

Students in tutus. Brewer Dance Academy St Albans also runs performance workshops.

Above all, Brewer Dance Academy values a love of dance. We have previously run musical theatre classes, a choreography club, several successful performance workshops, and currently offer an excellent contemporary/body conditioning class.

Whether you are looking for

pre-school classes or vocational level ballet we have a class for you.

We hope you can join us!
