ANNA WILL PLACE ORDERS FOR YOU AND ARRANGE A MEETING EITHER AT LARKMEAD STUDIO OR AT HER NEARBY HOME.
MTSD is a relaxed and friendly environment where students are encouraged to use their creativity and individuality. It is also a place that instils discipline, mutual respect and a sense of belonging which is why we have a uniform policy. It’s important that students come looking and feeling ready to dance! This means adhering to the uniform and making sure that hair is neatly tied back (in a bun for Ballet please) on a weekly basis. I’m always happy to give hints and tips on how to do hair. Just ask!
