The Oakley School of Dancing was founded in 2000 and has gone from strength to strength. Pupils who attend OSD can expect to enjoy their lessons which they will find challenging, fun and rewarding. You are welcome to come and try a lesson, please email or ring to let us know you are coming.

Jacqui is ably assisted by Toni Wagner, I.S.T.D. DDE R.A.D. R.T.S, who also teaches tap and jazz in the school.
At The Oakley School of Dancing, we offer RAD graded and vocational ballet, ISTD tap, junior and senior jazz dance and Adult ballet and tap.
We offer flexible lesson times throughout the week across a variety of locations, making it easier for you to find a class that suits your needs.
Term dates broadly follow the school calendar for Autumn, Spring and Summer terms.
At The Oakley School of Dancing, we believe that wearing the correct uniform helps pupils to feel confident, comfortable, and part of the school community. Uniforms also allow teachers to see posture and technique clearly, which is essential for progress and safety in dance training.
We have a range of different colours and styles of uniform to suit each age group and grade. This helps pupils to feel a sense of achievement as they progress through their training.
Uniform requirements are updated in line with seasonal term dates (Autumn, Spring, and Summer), and parents will receive full details when enrolling or progressing to a new grade.
For convenience, uniforms can be ordered directly through the school, and guidance is always available if you are unsure which items your child will need.
