The Duke of York's Royal Military School

A co-educational boarding school for students aged 11-18

Dance

Dance is an empowering and powerful form of non-verbal communication and our students truly embrace it here at the School. Offered across all key stages, the subject combines physical exploration through learning a vast range of styles, expanding analysis and interpretation skills through performance review.

Students also master a range of interpersonal skills such as teamwork, communication and problem-solving which are easily transferable across all School commitments.
