02:07become triple threat performers. Our school is built upon three principles, nurture, inspire

02:14and empower. Nurturing is possible thanks to our team of highly qualified and experienced

02:19dance teachers who offer holistic dance training to all of our students. All of our teachers are

02:25certified to enter students through official dance examinations with recognised examination boards,

02:31including the British Ballet Organisation, Acrobatic Arts and International Performing

02:48knowledge and training to keep up to date with the latest developments in the industry.

02:53We inspire our students to believe in their potential. Our school not only strives to

02:59provide highly technical dancers but also to develop creativity and a long-term passion for

03:05the arts. All of our teachers are experts in their fields and we work closely with our students to

03:11provide a high quality dance education that goes beyond the physical aspect of dance.

03:17Whether our students come to pursue a professional career or they come for recreational purposes,

03:23we are here to support their unique journey. Empowering is at the heart of our studio.

03:28We celebrate students' achievements by preparing them to take official dance exams. We also produce

03:34two fantastic dance showcases a year which gives all of our students the opportunity to show

03:40their hard work on stage as well as being a part of a full-scale production. Those students who

03:46would like to take their dance training further have the opportunity to apply with our competition

03:50team, which means they will be representing our studio at a local and national level.

03:56Dance at the Studio Belfast has a place for everyone. We work very hard to ensure that

04:01every student who walks through our building feels valued and supported as part of our big dance family.
