Welcome to Southside School of Dance
Started in January 2005 by Louise Squires A.I.S.T.D B.A Hons, Southside Dance aims to provide children with opportunities to learn the joy of dance, perform, build confidence and make friends in a fun, friendly and safe environment. We are committed to delivering high quality dance training whether that be simply for fitness and fun or in preparation for entering the arts on a professional level.
We offer instruction in a wide range of dance styles in Midlothian and the Borders including I.S.T.D Ballet, Modern, Tap, Street Dance, Boys only Street Dance, Scottish, Musical Theatre and drama classes. We also offer a series of adult dance and fitness classes. Children have the opportunity to enter I.S.T.D recognised examinations as well as perform in school shows.
