Berkshire and Henley Dance, started by Jamie in 2007 with just one teacher and three classes, has grown into a vibrant dance school with four branches across Berkshire, Hampshire, and Oxfordshire. Located in Hook, they focus on nurturing passion for dance and building confident performers, offering classes for children and adults in styles like Modern, Tap, Street, Hip hop, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Contemporary Fusion.
Jamie and her team pride themselves on being a close-knit dance family, bringing together parents, students, and teachers to support each other. The classes are modern and full of fresh ideas, with teachers who are active in the professional dance world, ensuring top-quality instruction.
Berkshire and Henley Dance offers numerous opportunities for dancers to perform beyond the classroom, including pantomimes, festivals, competitions, and theatre productions. They also encourage participation in medal tests to receive feedback and earn awards.
For young dancers showing good technique and leadership, there’s a chance to become student helpers in younger classes, fostering mentorship and providing role models.
The dance school showcases its students' talent on their website's video gallery, featuring various styles across their locations in Shiplake, Henley On Thames, Arborfield, and Finchampstead.
Whether a child or adult, everyone has a place at Berkshire and Henley Dance, where passion meets performance.
