Ella Daley and Philip Stokes, organisers of 412 School of Performing Arts and Gymnastics in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, are thrilled to update the sports community about their unique approach. Affectionately known as THE412WAY, this school is supported by the distinguished Richard Jordan Productions, famed for its award-winning productions.
Ella, a professional dancer and choreographer, founded 412 in 2012 with a vision to provide high-quality dance and gymnastics instruction. She is a fully qualified dance teacher and Level 2 gymnastics coach with a BA Hons in Dance and a PGCE. Philip, a notable playwright and director with a Masters in Contemporary Performing Arts, complements Ella's expertise with his innovative perspective on the arts.
The school's mission is simple: to foster a fun and supportive learning environment that encourages students to express themselves and develop their talents without the pressure of exams, competitions, or unrealistic expectations. With classes priced at £6.00 per hour, 412 ensures that quality training remains accessible.
Students at 412 receive instruction from professionals who focus on technique and creating a unique learning experience. Unlike other schools, there is no emphasis on costumes or make-up, and the primary goal is to make being young a joyful experience.
Throughout the year, students have various opportunities to showcase their skills at professional platforms, public events, and other projects. This exposure helps them gain confidence and experience in front of audiences, family, friends, and industry experts.
Ella and Philip invite all aspiring performers and enthusiasts to join them at The 412 Hub in Pontefract. With their guidance and the support of Richard Jordan Productions, 412 School of Performing Arts and Gymnastics offers a refreshing way to enjoy dance and gymnastics.
Experience the joy of performing arts and discover your potential with 412.
