Read MoreIt's World Ballet Day!
Classical ballet is at the heart of all our activities at JMDS. Our students are taught the basic positions and movements from age two, progressing through the various grades by exams until, usually as teens, they display all the characteristics of dancers in the country's leading ballet companies.

Read MoreAudition opportunity!
Why not give this audition a try? We have a history of success with the English Youth Ballet, usually getting at least six pupils into the ballet performances. It's such good experience and I highly recommend some of you have a go (you must be aged 8 or over). Coppelia is such a lovely character ballet.
Please read the details carefully and let me know if you'll be auditioning. Please remember to wear your JMDS uniform and zip up hoody, if you have one, to the audition, and to write 'The Jayne Marie Dancing School' in full (not just 'JMDS') on the form.
Wishing lots of our fabulous dance students the very best of luck.
Miss Jayne
2018 London Children's Ballet auditions
