Welcome to Arabesque School of Dance

Hi, I’m Michelle Nevin.
Welcome to Arabesque School of Dance. I am a registered teacher of the Royal Academy of Dance and IDTA and have over 16 years teaching experience of all ages, from children aged two and a half through to adults. As a qualified teacher, I can enter students for Examinations, if so desired, but it’s not compulsory. To date I have a 100% examination success rate. As well as exams in RAD Ballet & IDTA roessettes & medals your child will also have the opportunity to enter competitions, Festivals & participate in Shows.

My aim is to make the lessons a fun form of exercise and beneficial in many ways including the development of co-ordination, rhythm, fitness, muscle tone, expression and confidence.

Along with RAD Ballet we also offer Cheerleading, Cheerobics, Street Cheer, Tap, Freestyle, Pre School & Dinky Disco, I and all my team also hold current CRB certificates (police checked) for your reassurance.

Take a look around my website to learn about the various styles of dance that I and my team can teach, and please contact me or my

husband Colin for further information and arrange a free trial or discuss

the arrangements for your child's party.

Sincerely
