central scotland ballet school
Central Scotland Ballet School began life as a branch of the prestigious
‘Scottish Academy of Dance’. From humble beginnings with only 20 pupils, CSBS
Principal Mrs Jacqueline Clark established 4 large branches with a roll of over
1000 pupils. Her daughters, Amanda and Samantha, have become associate directors
and teachers in the school, ensuring her high standards are maintained and
keeping it a family business. The School quickly established a fine reputation
as one of Scotland’s leading part-time ballet schools. Students of all ages and
abilities are trained to the highest levels in Classical Ballet, studying the
Royal Academy of Dance ballet syllabus in a fun and friendly environment. They
complement their ballet lessons with our professional tuition in commercial
dance styles including Jazz, Acrobatics, Cheerleading, Tap, Commercial, Lyrical,
Musical Theatre and competitive dance, as well as workshops with guest
professional dance tutors. Many students enhance their training by successfully
auditioning for professional Associate schemes as well as attending holiday
courses at dance colleges across the UK. Annually we have students gain places
at top full-time ballet schools and dance colleges across the UK. During the
pandemic we ran a successful online programme with over 2500 online lessons and
events… But it’s been a delight to welcome dancers back into the Studios!
Whether our students are hoping to follow a career in dance or just dance for
fun and fitness as a hobby, we hope to provide them with skills they can use in
all aspects of their lives. “I never grow tired of watching the children grow
and develop into confident and happy young dancers. It is a constant joy and
privilege to watch them perform and I take huge pride in all their achievements.
I hope that my school can continue to give young dancers a sense of confidence,
enjoyment and success...” Jacqueline Clark RAD RTS , Director/Principal CSBS
