Welcome to Ashtead Ballet School, established in 2009 by Maxine Simpson, LRAD, AISTD, RAD Registered Teacher, and now proudly under the ownership of Jennifer Siegeris.

As we enter this exciting new chapter, we look forward to carrying on Maxine’s wonderful legacy, continuing to bring high-quality teaching to all of our students in a warm and nurturing environment.

Starting with just two classes a week, the school has grown to offer a full timetable for children aged from 3 years of age, through to teens and adults! As well as Royal Academy of Dance ballet (RAD), we offer Tap & Modern classes based on the Imperial Society for Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabi.

Additionally, there are Body Conditioning classes for older students, pointe work, and fun, non-syllabus ballet classes for adults.

Our ethos is to instil a love and enjoyment of dance in our students through our fun, inspiring classes, in which everyone is encouraged to develop to their full potential. We strongly believe that dancing promotes self-confidence as well as developing musicality, a strong physique, co-ordination, and grace.

As well as having the chance to succeed in exams with recognised training bodies and to perform in our whole-school productions, we hope that our students will learn to love dance for its own sake - becoming not just the dancers, but the audiences of the future.
