About Us
With an upsurge in enthusiasm for dancing that spans all age groups as a result of television shows including “Strictly Come Dancing”, we are able to bring directly into the School environment the opportunity for children to become involved in a truly fantastic sport that will become their passion. Strictly School Dancing has pioneered change away from the traditional concept and route to dance coaching by offering children from a young age the chance to learn to dance along with their classmates in a safe, secure and entirely familiar environment. This idea was created through the early part of 2007 and implemented in April 2008 after the successful launch of our business.

SSD are proud to have created in December 2010, the SSDAC (Strictly School Dancing Amateur Club) which is the home of our Amateur Dance Team. This club is affiliated with EADA and welcomes new members who can join once they have completed their appropriate training in the level 3 classes. For more information - Click HERE for the SSDAC.
Our Mission Statement
“Allow children of all abilities and backgrounds to become involved in a fabulous sport that provides lifetime benefits”

We offer parents, guardians and schools an entirely managed service with the opportunity for children to progress and participate in many lessons per week with the ultimate aim for those that wish to, to then become a part of our Amateur Dance Club – The SSDAC. Dancing is part of the National Schools Physical Education Curriculum and we have provided dance as a part of the Physical Education program for children at various schools.
Now
SSD has experienced significant growth in its business since launching in April 2008 and now operates in many schools in and around the Hampshire and Surrey areas. We operate 6 days per week throughout term time offering tuition slots from 08:00 right through to 20:30. SSD also provide lessons for all level 2,3,4 & 5 members (Non-School Lessons) also during school holiday periods, these lessons take place in dance studios and hired school halls where we have an association locally. SSD are able to deliver, directly into the school environment, workshops that provide all children with an opportunity to experience and appreciate Ballroom & Latin American dancing.
Many schools request our services every year particularly to provide choreography for special school shows. SSD now offer its students the chance to become involved in competitions at a National and local level, through the creation of our Amateur Dance Club, the SSDAC which is now affiliated with EADA, known as: The English Amateur Dancesport Association. This provides the children with a fantastic outlet maintaining high levels of motivation, achievement and reward for their efforts and dedication to improving their own personal skills.

Through the SSDAC, the children have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a competitive environment. By providing this service, students will begin to understand the extent of dedication required to excel at a competitive level nationally and internationally, whilst working together to achieve common goals as a team. Most recently we have started our own club and Inter-School Competitions which have been a huge success and represent an area we aim to focus on into the future. These provide children who otherwise may never get to experience the wonderful world of competitive dance with a chance to compete in their own special events but also alongside established and highly ranked couples for whom they can provide an insight into the future.
