We do not compete or examine our dancers. It’s wonderful and refreshing to
experience a non-competitive environment. When Ruth Anne Rogerson and her
daughter Tammy founded Dance London in 1993, they wanted to create a studio that
focuses on technical training and the love of dance. A place for everyone to be
themselves and just enjoy dance. 25 years later, we are still following the same
philosophy. When you take the competitiveness, awards, examinations, and medals
out of dance, everyone can just be. Our dancers, parents and faculty don’t
compete with one another— instead, they encourage and support each other.
Everyone is equal and a part of our family. At Dance London, you become a part
of a family that supports and encourages one another. Your child won’t feel left
out or overshadowed by others, because no matter their age or skill level
everyone is treated equally. Your child will be placed in the best class based
on their skill level and age. All 6 – 17-year-old classes are based on skill
level and age. This builds our dancers’ confidence by not feeling lost or behind
in class. It also gives our high-level dancers the opportunity to keep
progressing and not be held back in a class that is not challenging. By grouping
dancers together that are in the same age range, they are able to connect and
bond socially with their peers. We cap our class size. Instead of packing as
many dancers as we can into our classes, we have a maximum number of dancers
allowed per class. This allows our faculty to give enough one-on-one attention
to each student.
