From the littlest dance scamps, pre-professional training and adult beginners too. Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz & Tap Alison and Neil.
We’re RAD registered and pride ourselves on creative, inspiring and approachable dance training at the highest standard. Welcome to the new home of dance in Ballymena! First established over 25 years ago in Galgorm as Roberta McCormick School of Ballet we're now on the move to our own premises. Opening in September, we can't wait to welcome you to our bright, spacious studio with an absolutely packed timetable.

WOW
One day, two shows and a hundred moments of overwhelming excitement!
It’s telling that the only footage I managed was this- the final curtain down, the 19.6k steps my watch recorded for Saturday give you an idea of how brilliantly busy and nonstop show day is….our brilliant teen helpers and chaperones no doubt surpassed that amount of steps!!
We’re so thankful to have your dancer as part of our school, we really are so lucky to love what we do and your support of our school makes that possible, THANK YOU!!!
✨please return your costume during summer schools (July 27th-31st or August 10th-14th. They don’t need washed, we’ll do that!)

✨ Though she be but little, she is fierce ✨
It’s often the most unassuming of movements that take the most control and concentration.
This little dancer has mighty strong hip flexors & hamstrings and is working so hard to keep her beautiful poised posture 🩵 we love this determination!
Let’s start off the new term with this as our homework, bonus points if you can get your family involved too! Don’t forget to tag us!

springtime walks with our very hardworking Primaries! When we perfect the little things like careful “caterpillar” feet it, makes the big things like pointe later on effortlessly wonderful.
Enjoy your Easter holidays dancers, we’ll see you back in the studio from Monday 13th April ready for show term!

In the wise words of Florence & the Machine…
✨”When I’m dancing, I’m free” ✨
If you know this little dancer, you’ll know this picture perfectly captures the burst of pure joy that she is!
when I’m dancing, I’m truly me, not mummy not a teacher, I can let movement take me a million miles away. What about you? 🩵
