Happy memories from our school show July 2019.

Review from a member of the public from our production last year "United we Dance"

" Wow- the best dance school show I have ever seen , the costumes, staging, choreography and dancers worthy of a West End production. Very impressive- making the most of the abilities of every child absolutely fabulous. I hope the children and parents know how lucky they are"

Below were our Graduates and Prize winners from 2019

The Drusilla Duffill Theatre School offers a fantastic dance education to all pupils providing a disciplined approach to physical exercise, a chance for young people to express themselves creatively and an avenue for children to explore and contemplate a future in dance. The School has developed a strong reputation in the dance world and has become a renowned place of learning for dance students in Mid Sussex currently teaching ballet, tap, modern, jazz and performance classes to over 150 students of all ages.

In addition it has been a focal point for long and enduring friendships. Our aim is to provide a well structured curriculum within a caring atmosphere where young children and students can develop their love of dance and theatre, whether for enjoyment or as the basis for a professional career.

Encourage self-confidence, self-expression, and social skills that help develop and inspire your child's musicality and imagination.
