About Us

Our classes are geared to create all round performers who are equipped not just with one skill, but all performance skills. For example: you are a better street dancer if you understand rhythm and you gain a much better understanding of rhythm from Tap. You are a better Ballet dancer if your drama skills can enliven your storytelling. As an actor performing a role, you need to understand your physicality to create a character; actors learn this through movement and dance. Every skill is linked and each one helps the others. Lots of children have their favourites, but even their favourite discipline will be improved by studying all of them. We make this as easy as possible for parents by doing all the subjects in one go; no driving backwards and forwards on different days, leaving more time free for other activities – even if it is just homework!

Our History

When Jackie Palmer was a young girl back in the 1930’s she took her sister to a dance class; the teacher spied a talent and allowed her to join in. Two years later she was dancing professionally in pantomimes, going on to become a principal dancer, head girl, choreographer and performing in the West End and up and down the country. Fast forward to 1971, Jackie’s daughter Marylyn was working at the BBC, whilst teaching pupils privately when she decided to start the stage school and asked Jackie to join her. From a handful of pupils in High Wycombe’s Old Town Hall, nearly sixty years later, it is thriving in purpose built studios.
