Dance at Hurtwood

"Striving to develop a vibrant, healthy and diverse community of students who experience dance in many styles whilst also providing a forum for gifted dancers to be exposed to a higher standard of training, preparing them for future professional
dance courses."

Dance is one of the fastest developing departments in the school. Matthew Atwell, Head of Dance, has the specific goal of exposing as many students to Dance as possible and is passionate about offering education and outlets for students to learn more about their physical, nutritional, health and fitness needs.

Under his leadership Hurtwood now draws a top team of current working professionals to nurture and inspire the students in classes, workshops and in our large scale productions. Our Dance College Audition Preparation Program has helped pupils to go on to study at Millenium, the Laban Centre, London Studio Centre, Arts Ed., Italia Conti & in New York and ex-students can frequently be seen dancing in the West End, on Broadway and on MTV.

Our newly developed purpose-built
dance studio offers the final ingredient
which makes the Hurtwood dance
department one of the finest in the
country.
