Welcome to
Next Generation Dance
Next Generation Dance is family style Dance School in Wincheap, Canterbury providing a class to suit everyone.
Dedicated to providing safe and professional training where students are encouraged to develop their unique and individual potential while exploring the joy of dance!
We follow the carefully planned and well-tried I.S.T.D examination syllabus, which includes Modern Dance, Tap and Classical Ballet. I.S.T.D have the ability to adapt, develop and evolve with the changing fashion in dance. Young people are trained to become disciplined and versatile dancers who have a professional attitude towards dance but most importantly enjoying their classes and having fun!
Next Generation Dance recognises the ever evolving world of dance. Pupils will be the given opportunity to perform in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Contemporary and Musical Theatre, participate in Shows, Local Dance Festivals and London Venues such as Her Majesty’s along with local Charity Fundraising Events.
In July 2017 NGDS performed in Disneyland Paris. We encourage performances and workshops outside of NGDS but also invite Professionals to come and visit with their West End experience. The school performs a biannual Show along with other local performances and competes in local Dance Festivals.
