Hello and welcome to the Sharla Academy of Dance. This website is designed to give you as new and prospective students (and parents of course) some more information about the Academy and to serve as a reference guide throughout your time with us.

I have been dancing since the tender age of 5 and I have been teaching dance for over 10 years. I am an Associate Teacher of the Association of American Dancing (AAD) and follow their syllabus for ballet, tap, modern and acrobatic dance.

I am also ably assisted by Sally Marston and Tania Downes who are brimming with enthusiasm for dance.

I hope you, as students, will enjoy your lessons with us and that we can foster in you a lifelong love of dance as well as equipping you with the poise, confidence and self assurance that is so important for young adults today. But most of all we hope that you have fun! After all that is what dance is all about!
