About Hoylake School of Dance

The school opened on 18th March 1996.

The syllabi used for dance are by the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), & International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA). For Drama we use the LAMDA syllabus (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts) for poetry and acting examinations. We also offer LAMDA Musical Theatre Exams for senior pupils. We are proud to offer a high standard of tuition at a reasonable cost.

Our Venue

All our classes are held at our state of the art studios, Studio 1 Hundred, 100 Market Street, Hoylake CH47 3BD. The building houses 6 dance studios 5 of which have fully sprung Harlequin dance floors as well as a café, waiting area for parents and girls and boys changing rooms and locker facilities. We have our own car park to the rear of the building.

Uniform

There is a uniform for all dance classes. All shoes and dancewear can be purchased from us or any good dance shop including Cain’s of Heswall. We hold some stock and if it’s not in stock most items can be ordered in fairly quickly. All orders can be placed at the café counter on the dancewear order forms with cash or card or can be emailed direct to the office hsod@icloud.com with payment made to school account. School T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, Hoodies and Trousers are also available at the café too.

Fees

Fees are collected termly, families who take more than one class can split fees into half termly payments. Dates are always in the newsletter. New pupils are given a fee total prior to starting and this is due before their 2nd class if the pupil is continuing with lessons. Classes are charged per class but as pupils get older and take on more subjects and classes there are discounts available as we have a capped fees policy on core subjects for children taking 5 or more classes per week. Details available upon request or see notice boards.
