Phillomena Dance School / Dance School
Welcome to our award winning, inspirational, nurturing and motivated dance family here at Phillomena Dance School. Established in 1993 – Philllomena has touched the hearts of thousands of dancers throughout the last three decades.
Based in and around Stoneleigh, Tadworth and Banstead – the dance classes we offer to children from toddlers to teens in Ballet, Tap, Theatre Craft, Street, Acro and Contemporary, are taught by our team of passionate and qualified IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) teachers.
Our Adult dance classes include Tap, Jazz, Club Dance and Ballet including the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Silver Swans Ballet.
We strive to maintain a high standard of dance tuition and we pride ourselves on our professionalism and our ability to create an exciting, happy and rewarding environment for all to learn in.
Our Phillomena Poppets Programme specialises in various dance, music and movement classes (including the award winning Disco Duck programme) for the very youngest of students, which link to the Early Years Foundation Stages.
We hold frequent examination sessions with the IDTA and showcase our talents in a bi-annual Show – next one planned for 2026 at the Leatherhead Theatre.
Holiday Camps and Workshops are also offered during the holiday breaks – all held in our beautiful studio in Stoneleigh.
Celebrating our 30th Anniversary in 2023 – parents who send their wonderful children to us are safe in the knowledge that their child will not only receive excellent dance tuition, but will also benefit from encouraging and supportive friendships that can last a lifetime.

“All three of my daughters have danced at Phillomena Dance School, and we’ve had a wonderful experience over the years. My youngest daughter still attends and is thriving in every aspect of her dance training. She goes once a week to their Tadworth studio, where she takes classes in street dance, ballet, and tap.
Phillomena Dance School offers excellent value for money. My daughter’s weekly classes are nearly two hours long, giving her plenty of time to learn and grow her skills. The sessions are led by qualified, experienced dance teachers who are not only highly knowledgeable but also bring great enthusiasm and passion to every class.
One of the standout aspects of Phillomena Dance School is the incredible performance opportunities they provide. The school puts on amazing shows that give the dancers a chance to perform on stage at large, professional theatres in places like Wimbledon and Kingston—an unforgettable experience that builds confidence and pride. These events are so well-organised and showcase the talent, hard work, and creativity of both the students and staff. The heart of the school is Miss Lynda, the wonderful Principal, whose passion and dedication shine through in everything she does. Alongside her, the other teachers are consistently kind, supportive, and deeply committed to every student’s growth. It’s truly a special place.
I would highly recommend Phillomena Dance School for so many reasons. The teachers are not only enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but they also genuinely care about each child’s progress and well-being. The level of support and communication with families is outstanding, creating a strong sense of community. The school actively encourages independence, creativity, and confidence in every dancer, helping them grow not just in skill, but in character. It’s a place where children are nurtured and inspired, both on and off the dance floor..”

“My daughter has attended classes for the last 8 years at Phillomena Dance School. The school has great ethos, dancing is taught in a fun way with opportunity to take part in exams and shows both on a small and large scale.
This service is inspirational, confidence building, welcoming, results driven and most importantly friendly. It has great teachers of all ages and a wide range of dance styles offered.”

“Phillomena Dance School is a great all round dance school for fun, fitness and discipline. I recommend this service for instilling confidence into my daughters. It’s a friendly, fun and confidence building service that is very family orientated. It’s a great mix of fun and taking part in biannual shows is a wonderful experience.”
