Dance Shack, Merton Abbey

Lucy Holloway would like to share some exciting updates from Dance Shack, Merton Abbey. As some of you may know, Lucy and Garth Hall started this dance school back in 2006, with just seven students in a church hall in Leatherhead. Today, Dance Shack has grown to accommodate over 800 students across seven schools, becoming one of the leading dance institutions in the area.

A cornerstone of Dance Shack is its collaboration with Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing, where many classes take place in their high-quality studios. The main objective of the school is to nurture each student individually, helping them build confidence in dancing, acting, and singing. The teaching staff at Dance Shack bring a wealth of experience from top performing arts schools and the professional theatre scene, offering students valuable insights into the performance industry.

One notable feature of Dance Shack is its annual shows. These performances provide students with the opportunity to showcase their talents on a professional stage, significantly boosting their self-confidence. The school is dedicated to fostering a friendly and enjoyable learning environment, encouraging students to thrive both in the studio and in their everyday lives.

Lucy firmly believes in the holistic benefits of dance, from physical stamina and improved coordination to better posture and overall well-being. Dance Shack is often likened to a large, supportive family, where every student feels encouraged. Lucy is particularly proud to have Sir Matthew Bourne as the school's patron, who shares the belief in the potential of young dancers and trusts that Dance Shack will inspire them to achieve their goals.

Whether your child is aiming to be a performer or simply wants to enjoy the benefits of dance, Dance Shack, Merton Abbey, offers a wonderful environment to develop their talents and grow as individuals. Lucy invites you to join the Dance Shack family and experience the joy of dance in a supportive and professional setting.
