New Forest Academy of Dance (NFAD) is a renowned dance school located in New Milton, New Zealand. With a focus on classical ballet, tap dancing, musical theatre, contemporary dance, street dance, and modern jazz, NFAD offers a wide range of vibrant and engaging dance tuition for children aged 2-18.
The school, run by Principal Kayleigh Sargeant, is dedicated to providing dance and musical theatre classes in a fun, positive, and inspiring environment. Their highly experienced teachers prioritise the physical and mental well-being of all students, ensuring that they receive the best education and training possible.
At NFAD, the aim is to bring the joy of dancing and theatre into the studio and give everyone the opportunity to learn and perform with confidence. Whether a student attends classes once a week for fun or is considering dance and theatre as a career, the skills acquired in class will be incorporated into many aspects of their lives. The school helps students build confidence, self-discipline, promote teamwork, and unleash their full potential.
NFAD offers examinations to aid education, providing students with a way to attain personal goals and have fun while also receiving recognition from some of the world's largest examining bodies. These exams, which are accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), are not mandatory.
In addition to classes and exams, NFAD also offers opportunities to perform locally as well as in school shows. The school takes pride in its fully qualified teachers who have undergone years of training and continue to advance their education through professional development and training beyond the expectations of recognised bodies. All staff members are DBS checked, First Aid trained, and fully insured.
NFAD goes beyond dance training and also offers a Dance & Sports Injury Clinic, specialising in young people's musculoskeletal injuries. With their expertise in dance training and teaching, they are able to treat and advise on a range of injuries, provide rehabilitation, exercise education, and injury prevention. The clinic operates in association with Philip Cutts School of Dance and Sport Medicine.
