The school provides dance and drama instruction for students from age 2.5 through adulthood.

Ballet instruction ranges from Pre-Primary through Standard 5 and above, including pointe work. Modern and tap classes extend from Primary through Grade 6 and beyond. Students may take graded examinations through the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing syllabus, which offers recognised qualifications that can contribute UCAS points.
The school organises annual shows open to all students and runs a selected competition team. Throughout the year, students have opportunities to perform at community events, including local pantomimes. Former students have progressed to professional training at institutions such as Tiffany Theatre College, Laine Theatre Arts, and Bird College, with some going on to perform in West End productions and touring shows.
