We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our site. We are a family based business and have been teaching dance for over 40 years. Our staff are all fully trained in dance and qualified to teach.
Whether you are thinking of joining us just for fun and for general improvement in physical condition, or are looking for a more serious development of your child's dance skills, we are here to encourage your children with positive reinforcement as well as maintaining the discipline required to master the art of dance and social behaviour in a class atmosphere.
Glenda Benton Dance Academy welcomes all children. We are very proud to offer movement classes for children with diverse needs.

PLATINUM & DIAMOND CLASSES
Our Platinum & Diamond classes have been introduced as we feel there is a need to take our students, who strive for excellence, even further with their training. The students will be selected for these classes based on their strong, classically based technique, their motivation, their attendance and their positive attitude in all classes. They must have a very positive work ethic and show respect to all teachers & students. Training must include; 2 x Classical Ballet, Contemporary, Limber & flexibility, Technique & Conditioning, Tap, Jazz and Performance work.
