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 school is now run by Royal Academy of Dance registered teacher Mrs Helen Brewer, who has been principal of the school since 2014.
Our 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.
All our ballet students can choose to be entered into
Royal Academy of Dance exams.
These are not just a fantastic way to mark progress. From Grade 6 upwards you can earn UCAS points along with your exam certificate, and an Intermediate certificate can be the first step towards becoming a dance teacher.
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.
