We are proud to bring The Georgina Weston Dance Academy’s renowned standard of dance education to Beckenham, continuing the legacy of excellence established by Janie Harris in 1980 and carried forward by Elizabeth Whitmore since 2011. As part of our Academy’s growing family, this branch upholds our mission to deliver the highest quality teaching while inspiring a love for dance in every student.
“I believe in delivering the highest standard of dance teaching to meet and excel the requirements of today’s young dancers, in a nurturing and supportive environment” – Georgina Weston, Principal
Georgina’s passion for dance is reflected in her energetic and professional classes, where each student is supported according to their individual needs. Whether your child is discovering dance for fun or pursuing it as a future career, Georgina ensures every student leaves class feeling accomplished and inspired, and this ethos is reflected in all teachers teaching at GWDA.
From our pre-school Tiny Footsteps™ programme for 18-month-olds to advanced pointe and graded classes, we offer a diverse curriculum designed to meet the needs of today’s dancers.
Our classes include:
• RAD Ballet: From Pre-Primary to Grade 8, offering UCAS-recognised qualifications.
• Tiny Footsteps™ and Dinky Dancers™: Our unique two-stage pre-school dance programmes designed to nurture young talent from 18 months old, then progressing into Dinky Dancers pre-school programme for the year before the child starts school.
• RAD Vocational Classes: For those students wishing to study pointe work and a more vocational style route of training, working alongside their graded classes.
• Adult Ballet and Barre Classes: A chance for our adults to check in with their bodies, to work on posture, strengthening, toning and most importantly, socialising!
• Funky Jazz and Contemporary: For creative expression and versatility.
• Conditioning Classes: To enhance strength, flexibility, and performance readiness.
At the Beckenham branch, your child will gain new skills, build confidence, and create friendships that will last a lifetime—all under the care of experienced and nurturing teachers.
As a proud Royal Academy of Dance-registered school, we combine professionalism and enthusiasm with a high standard of teaching.
We warmly invite your child to join us for a free taster class, or the adults to join for a £10 taster class, and experience the magic of our dance community.
Let us inspire your child’s passion for dance while continuing the rich traditions of this cherished school.
