We ask all our teachers to apply ten core values when teaching our dance classes.
Respectful Guidance
Respectful Guidance
The nature of dance means that we sometimes have to help pupils adjust positions to aid technical development and keep them safe.
Uplifting Environment
Uplifting Environment
Every dancer matters to us and we want them to be valued. No dancer should ever feel singled out. We never lift someone up by putting another down.
Balanced Feedback

Our feedback always aims to help dancers improve, stay safe and grow. Our dancers' confidence is important to us.
Fun First Approach
We offer vocational training but primarily we offer dancers a fun environment in which to dance.
Inclusivity & Respect
Everyone is welcome and equally valued at DSA irrespective of the journey that brought them to us.

Professional Boundaries
