The Gwyneth Hare School of Dancing was established in 1972 and since then has endeavoured to maintain a caring and happy environment in which children of all ages and abilities can learn many aspects of theatre dance.

The school offers training for examinations in the syllabi of the RAD and IDTA in Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz and Theatrecraft. Major examinations and the option of teaching examinations for those students who show a high level of commitment are also available.

Although a number of pupils aspire to become professional dancers, many prefer to take the classes purely for recreation.

Most children begin their training in the pre-juvenile or the pre-primary grade classes, but there are also facilities for a late beginner if required. These classes are held on Saturday mornings and last for 1 hour (30 mins ballet and 30 mins tap) and when nearing an exam, an extra coaching lesson during the week. From Primary grade upward all pupils take an additional body conditioning class, also on a Saturday morning.

On reaching grade 2, pupils then attend twice weekly, an extra ballet class being taken on a Tuesday. At this level, modern-jazz & theatrecraft classes are offered, enabling pupils to experience a wider variety of dance styles.

My daughter has been at this dance school since the age of 2 years and is now 16. She absolutely loves it!! The teachers are wonderful and have given her so much more than just dance lessons! She has had some amazing opportunities over the years and created friendships and memories to last a lifetime. It will be an emotional day when she leaves to take the next step but I’m sure she will always remain part of the school

A caring family run dance school that nurtures the children. My daughter has attended since she was 3 and they have taught, supported and nurtured her throughout. She is now 15 and still loves dance. Individuals are recognised for their unique abilities and encouraged to be the best that they can be. I would highly recommend.

A fabulous all round dance school. The teachers are all totally dedicated to the students. Both my daughters currently attend, my eldest is now in her 11th year! Wonderful friendships have been made and the self discipline, deportment and confidence they've learnt will last a lifetime. I should know as I used to be a student here myself many years ago...The training and knowledge of Miss Hare and staff is second to none!
