Dance with the best
Step ahead of the rest
Thank you for visiting the most progressive Freestyle and Ballroom Dance School in Hertfordshire...... where dancing is fun !
Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, London, March 2011
Tara,
Just tried to call you to tell you how proud I was. Can t do enthusiasm on an email, but will try.
I was whooping and screaming and standing and clapping, falling over because there were bags in the way, think I drove everyone mad.
BUT, as proud as I was, you must be so much prouder, they were a credit to you and all your hard work and I am so so happy that Patsy is part of your family .
She loved every minute of it and now can't wait for the October show (neither can I).
So, basically, the answer to your question is .... Oh yes, I was a very proud mummy .......Nicky

Many congratulations to you and your dancing school, you were, as always, superb, the professionalism shone through, the dancers glowed and put every ounce of energy they had into their routines.
I did enjoy the second half of the show better than the first, maybe there were more nerves showing in the first half.
The Stephanie Prior Dance School was excellent in both performances.
Thank you for a lovely evening and all the time and effort you put into the choreography of these routines.....Mary
CLASSES
Children’s classes are fun and sociable. We take children from
the age of 3 years, and even at this young age they can learn
the very basics of Freestyle Disco.
As well as learning the fundamentals of dance, they are able to
meet friends and have fun.
Some children like to take their dancing a step further and
enjoy competing in local and national medalist competitions,
from which we have regular finalists and winners.
Dancing helps children to grow in confidence, aids co-
ordination, as well as being good exercise, but above all, we
make it fun.
Adult classes are held in a friendly, sociable atmosphere. Why
not come and enjoy learning Ballroom and Latin American. It's
a good way to meet other people. You can come as a group, a
couple, or on your own.
Medal Tests are scheduled at least once a year with the NATD
Both adults and children love to achieve and find these very
rewarding. We have had excellent results, achieving 100% pass
rate in all our examinations to date, with 99% gaining the top
mark of Honours.
We are very proud of all the pupils who attend our school
whether or not they wish to take medals, compete, or just
enjoy social dancing.
FIRST DANCE
The wedding invitations have been sent, the church is booked, the cars are booked, the venue is booked, the caterers are booked, and the DJ or band have been selected and booked, but........
Have you thought about your 'First Dance' yet?
The earlier you start to learn, the more relaxed you will be on your special wedding day when you take those first few steps in front of your friends and relations.
The most popular dance and easiest to learn is the Social Foxtrot, but......
there are many other dances such as the Waltz, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Cha-Cha-Cha,Tango or Jive which can make up your 'First Dance'.
What better way is there, to set the scene for your wedding party and the rest of your life together as a couple, than to step out confidently for your 'First Dance'.
We can offer you either group courses or private lessons;
Group courses - if the wedding is some time away you might like to consider joining one of our ballroom and latin dance courses for beginners. This is a great way to find out which dance you prefer and it gives you time to learn how to dance together.
Personal lessons - Tara will teach you how to dance as a couple - starting with a simple routine.
If you wish, bring along a CD with your special song and Tara will choreograph a personalised dance, just for you, at a level with which you feel comfortable.

PRIVATE TUITION
Private lessons are bookable in advance for all ages and grades and are the most effective method to achieve your performance goals.
One to one tuition enables much quicker progress. If you are taking an exam, a private lesson is helpful to achieve a higher grade, or it can help you catch up if you are unable to make any of the group classes.
If you have a social event in your diary, or wish to learn for your wedding day 'First Dance', a one to one lesson is an easy and private way to grasp the basics of the Waltz, Jive etc.
Private lessons are available in 30 minute or 1 hour sessions with one to one attentive tuition.
Competitive training is also available for both adults and children and you will be instructed by Tara.

About the 'First Dance'
We are back from Honeymoon and had a fantastic wedding! It was amazing. The first dance went so well, we loved doing it! I had to manoeuvre Jim into position at one point but no-one noticed! The lift at the end was especially appreciated! But, thank you so much, I'm so glad we did it, it was well worth it. I'd love to join one of your classes.
Thanks again and lots of love xx Annabel
Thank you so much for teaching us our first dance for our wedding. It was certainly a surprise for our guests. We didnt know a step of the waltz when we started, and when we finished it felt like we should be on Strictly Come Dancing!.... Charlotte & Ben
About the Summer School Workshops
Ellen thoroughly enjoyed the Summer School and she would definitely be interested in coming again. Thank you again.....Julia x
Thank you, to you and Marcella, my two girls had an absolute fabulous time and yes we would be interested in any future summer schools....Aly
Katy really enjoyed the two day Dance Workshop. I think 2 days is perfect for holidays. I don't like committing the children to a whole week of something as I think it's too much. Please do it again soon! ....Clare
Cerys really enjoyed the 2 days so thank you both. I'd be interested in further school holiday workshops......Cathy

Can't think what you are going to do for your childs' party? Why not let the Stephanie Prior
School of Dancing do the thinking for you?
Our dance parties are 2 hours long and are held at our studios. They are packed full of
excitement and fun with a range of popular dance themes from which to choose. We also offer
tailor made parties inspired by your own childs' latest craze.
Suitable for any occasion, our Dance parties consist of learning two dance routines, traditional
party games with fabulous prizes supplied by us and an extra special gift for the birthday
girl/boy. We decorate the studio with balloons and banners and give all the children a voucher
for a free trial lesson at one of our timetabled weekly classes.
So if you want to give your child a party to remember, why not let Tara and the team take the
stress out of party entertaining whilst you sit back, relax and when its over - leave all the
clearing up to us! You can even sit in our lounge, have a quiet coffee and watch the fun on
the in house cameras..
Our highly trained and motivated team of dance teachers will inspire the children to express
themselves freely, enjoying a variety of dance styles and popular dance routines.
