The school’s aim is simply to teach children to dance while having fun. Dance can give so much to a child: fitness, self confidence, self discipline, friendship and above all joy.
As part of the process of learning to dance the children take exams and have lots of opportunities to dance on stage, with other children from around the country and to have workshops with professional dancers and guest companies.
Bev-Lyn produce a show which involves all the children every other year. We also provide dancers for amateur companies all over the county, so that pupils have added opportunities to be on stage.
We have a special link with “The Duchy Ballet” who perform full scale ballets at the Hall for Cornwall and Redruth Amateur Musical and Pantomime Society, providing three dance troupes for their two shows each year.
Senior students also have the option of doing GCSE and A-level Dance as part of their lessons at Bev-Lyn. Because the students are already competent in dance, the course is completed in a year and proves to be a very fulfilling addition to their school options.
