“We’ve been keeping Newquay on its toes for over forty years, and we still get goosebumps every showcase.”
Pamela Darlington, PrincipalWelcome to the Pamela Darlington School of Dance
We've been keeping Newquay dancing since 1982, supporting children from the age of two to reach their pirouetting potential. We teach all forms of dance, with our core specialism in classical ballet.
We follow the British Ballet Organisation syllabus, recognised by Ofqual and Qualification Wales, and are a proud member of the Council for Dance and Musical Theatre. Our pupils dance in real theatres, sit recognised exams, and grow into confident young people on and off the studio floor.
