About
Jamie from Buxton Dance & Drama Studios here, sending you a quick note. Jamie runs the show over at Buxton Dance & Drama Studios in Gillingham, Kent. The goal? To give everyone a fun and safe spot to dive into the world of dance and drama. Whether you're just starting out or looking to hone your skills, there's something for everyone.
Jamie’s crew of instructors cover everything from ballet and tap to modern, jazz/commercial dance, musical theatre, and singing. These folks are super dedicated to helping you become the performer you want to be. Their passion and know-how will guide you every step of the way.
For the little ones, Buxton offers Pre-School Dance Classes that introduce kids to ballet and modern dance with a mix of instruments, mime, and song. Keeps the energy up and the learning fun.
If you’ve got a thing for classical ballet, there are R.A.D (Royal Academy of Dance) classes for all levels. Ballet here isn’t just about grace; it’s considered the bedrock of all dance styles. And if you're ready to take it up a notch, there are Stretch & Pointe classes too, once you’ve got the fundamentals down.
Tap and Modern classes bring a bit of rhythm and flair, with tap dancing using metal taps on shoes for that perfect beat, and modern blending various elements for expressive moves. Both styles emphasise great technique and self-expression.
Then there’s commercial jazz/street dance – think high-energy, edgy moves inspired by jazz, street, modern, and hip hop. It's the kind of stuff you see in music videos, perfect for showing off confidence and style.
Buxton isn’t just about dance. There’re musical theatre classes mixing singing, dialogue, acting, and dance, plus singing lessons aimed at developing your voice.
Jamie and the team believe everyone’s got the potential to shine. It doesn't matter if you’re just starting out or you're a seasoned dancer; they’re there to help you hit those dance goals. Pop down to Gillingham and kickstart your dance journey with them!
Cheers!
Jamie
