With over 50 years of successful dance training in tap, modern, ballet and jazz styles, the Mavis Daniels School Of Dance has earned an enviable reputation as the premier place to learn dancing in Southampton.

The school is a great place for your child to have fun while they learn to focus on performance, and this is demonstrated in our high exam results and by our exciting and critically received shows.

Students of the school have gone on to appear in a range of professional performances and shows, and many of Mavis' former pupils have now become teachers in their own right.

The Mavis Daniels School Of Dance is conveniently located in Woolston, near to Southampton city center, and dancing classes for beginners to advanced students are held weekly. Please call 023 8043 6040 for details of times and class prices.

Pupils from the school have performed in lots of productions at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton and beyond, and as well as their high exam results, they have won many trophies and awards at dance festivals.

Students have appeared with artists including Lenny Henry, Roy Castle, Charlie Williams, Barbara Dickson, Edmond Hockridge, John Caine, Sarah Green and Mike Reid.
