About Us
Abbey Roberts Dance
Our Philosophy
Abbey Roberts dance was established in 2015. We strive for progress not perfection! If you are passionate about dance, this is where you need to be! We specialise in contemporary, lyrical, modern and jazz dance.
​
We have classes for ages 3-18 and all abilities. We also have competitive teams. These teams are very committed, dedicated and passionate, and enter competitions regularly.
This is a great space to truly be yourself in a fun, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. What makes us different? We are all about building confidence and giving dancers a space to express themselves physically. We focus more on progress than perfection.

Grace Thomas
Abbey is a qualified dance teacher and the owner of Abbey Roberts dance School. Abbey graduated with a dance degree in 2013, and since opened the school in 2015. With 15 years teaching experience and almost 10 years experience as a business owner, Abbey is proud and passionate about seeing the students grow as well as the school. Seeing the students develop not only their dancing and perofmance skills, but also their confidence, and social skills through an enjoyable activity makes every session so rewarding.
Anna is an ex student and has been training with Abbey for 10 years! Anna is passionate about teaching with the tools she has been given and learnt from Abbey. Annas preferred style is Contemporary and Jazz however she does choreograph all styles for juniors and teen classes. ​
Anna says it is really enjoyable now being on the other side since she is now teaching rather than performing. It is very rewarding seeing the dancers perfect her choreography and do so well!
About the Dancers
Ava
Teen Dance student
My name is Ava. I have been dancing with Abbey Roberts dance for 4 years. I love to perform so this was the perfect place for me. We have so many performance opportunities every term which I love as it keeps me motivated. My favourite style is lyrical but I also love contemporary. Since joining dance I have become more confident as my technique has improved massively thanks to Anna and abbey.
Tilly
Junior Dance Student
I have been in dance for five years now. Dance is where I am most happy, and can be myself by expressing my feelings through dance. I love how much more confident I am now since joining. The environment is so fun, and there is no pressure at all. I have made so many friends, and love competing the different styles we learn! My favourite style is contemporary and jazz. Dance has given me many performance opportunities. One being auditioning for pantomimes and being successfully chosen for the second time in a row.
Belle
Junior Dance Student
My name is Belle. I started dancing with Abbey when I was two years old. I was one of the first students when Abbey Roberts dance opened. I love dance because I learn so many skills and have the best of friends there. We are like a family. I enjoy competing in all the competitions as it has improved my confidence so much. My favourite styles are Jazz and contemporary.
