Sharon Bednall School of Dance

Sharon Bednall School of Dance Children and Adults Dancing School in Marlpool, Derbyshire. Our dancing school aims to offer a broad selection of dance styles, to suit all ages and abilities.

Following the National Association of Teachers of Dancing syllabus, we offer classes in Ballroom, Latin American, Freestyle, Contemporary and Street Dance for both children and adults alike. We take absolute beginners and if desired, train them to become fully qualified teachers in their own right. While pupils are trained to a high examination standard we also promote a sense of fun and enjoyment

in all of our classes. In our annual charity show, every child participates on stage, giving them a chance to perform and the opportunity to share their talent and love of dance. At the end of the year we celebrate at our presentation dance and present the children with their medals. In addition, approximately twenty pupils receive achievement awards, this recognises their hard work and effort throughout the year. Established for over 25 years, our team consists of qualified dance teachers and a large compliment of support staff. All full time and voluntary staff are fully DBS checked (CRB - Criminal Records Bureau). We also follow a number of policies to ensure all pupils safety and protection whilst in our care. All of our classes are well attended, many of our pupils have been with us for many years - this is testament to our success and commitment to continued improvement. All our classes are held at Waingroves Methodist Church, see the location page for details of where we are.

It was so lovely to receive this email from Derbyshire Carers Association this week 😊

We donated the proceeds from our Christmas Charity Dance Show last year to the charity, which totalled over £4400. It's great to hear that our donations are still benefiting young carers! ❤️

It's just over 1 week since our last performance of Joseph, and we had a brilliant post-show get together last night with Marlpool URC Theatre Company

Our dancers have received so much praise for their hard work and performances. They also received lovely cards from Emily (Musical Director), and Tony (one of the founding members of the company). 🤩

Last night our lovely dancers returned the favour, and gave out cards of their own. ❤️ Thank you girls, it really meant alot. 😊

Well done girls, we're so proud! Good luck for the next 3 performances!

We've been working on the Paso Doble in our Grade class over the last few weeks, building on our attack and shaping. 💃🕺

Liam loves the Paso Doble and has really grasped the arm shaping and marching action. Well done Liam! 😁

We're so looking forward to our first classes back for the Rainbows and Grades this morning! 🤩

🌈 We have so much fun in our Rainbow class, and we often use props to help build rhythm and dance techniques, such as footwork, posture and body action.

🌟 Our Grades are so enthusiastic and love a challenge! The Grades class is where we see the most progression in our pupils, and it's so amazing to see their dancing develop.

They all certainly brighten up our Saturday mornings! ☀️
