Caroline Butler School of Dance is a renowned dance school located in Worcester Park, Surrey. Founded in 2011, the school was established by Miss Caroline with the aim of sharing her passion and expertise in dance with the young people in the community. Since then, it has become a thriving dance community, providing high-quality ballet, tap, and modern dance classes to children aged 3 and above.
At Caroline Butler School of Dance, the teachers are dedicated to empowering young dancers and helping them reach their fullest potential in both technical and artistic aspects of dance. Through weekly classes, bi-annual school shows, competitions, examinations, theatre trips, and a tailored programme for seniors, the school ensures that students have ample opportunities to grow and showcase their talent.
The school offers a diverse range of classes to cater to different age groups and skill levels. For children aged 3 years and above, there are joyful and creative pre-school ballet classes, providing a delightful introduction to the world of ballet.
