Dance is taught to boys and girls at key stage 3, GCSE and A Level. The dance department organises regular visits to Sadler’s Wells, the Royal Opera House and the New Wimbledon Theatre so that students may see live professional dance. Members of professional dance companies visit the school to run workshops, teach new routines and raise the profile of dance throughout key stage 3 and key stage 4.

The department hosts two annual dance evenings as well as seeking other opportunities for performance. These events provide students with the valuable experience of performing their work from lessons and extra-curricular clubs to an audience of governors, parents and staff. The department boasts a busy extra-curricular timetable, featuring The Company, the Greenshaw’s auditioned dance group, who have the opportunity to represent the school at charity events and competitions.
