Patricia Veale School of Dance

My daughter attended Patricia Veale School of Dance from just under age 3. She absolutely loved her time there and took part in ballet, tap, contemporary, jazz & modern dance classes. She took RAD examinations in ballet with good grades. The highlight for her was performing in the shows this school produces every two years at Joseph Rowntree Theatre, fantastic productions by the school's teacher and principal, Kelly. Highly recommended dance school.

This ballet school is amazing. We moved to this school a few years back and ive seen my daughter grow and achieve much more than she did in her previous school. Miss Kelly is a fantastic teacher who teaches with such passion and elegance. The school has a great atmosphere and it is great to be a part of it.

Fantastic dance school led by a great teacher. My daughter has been going for almost 10 years and shows no signs of stopping. There is a good friendly atmosphere in the school between the students. They work hard toward their RAD grades every year. The February show is always an exciting time in the school with everyone on stage showcasing all the skills they learned.

I highly recommend this dance school, which offers ballet at all levels, jazz, contemporary, and tap. Classes range from preschool right through to beginner teens and adult ballet- beginner and advanced. Miss Clarey is an excellent, dedicated teacher who gets top results from her pupils in grading exams. Both my daughters have stayed at this dance school for several years, getting brilliant results, becoming beautiful dancers, and getting the opportunity to be in a large-scale show created by Miss Clarey every 2 years: an amazing experience they will never forget! There is a strong ethos of respect, discipline and professionalism at the school, but classes are still fun and enjoyable for all children. Sibling discounts and multi-class discounts are available, and parents are invited to watch every term so you can enjoy your child’s progress. Excellent ballet school!

I would highly recommend this dance school. My daughter has been coming here since she was three years old and absolutely loves it. Kelly Clarey is a fantastic teacher who has really supported and inspired my daughter to work hard and develop her love of dance. She has taken lessons in ballet, contemporary, tap, jazz and modern, and has achieved good grades in her RAD exams. The shows that are produced every two years are always fantastic to watch as the enthusiasm and commitment of the students is obvious see and a testament to Kelly’s dedication.
