Bentley Potter School of Dance
Our School
Bentley Potter School of Dance is essentially committed to the teaching of classical ballet based on the technique and regime of the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus.
Annually the school prepares students for external examinations (by an international examiner), optional to those wishing to have an unbiased, professional evaluation of their work.
Our staff is composed of experienced teachers of dance, dedicated to inspire the joy of dancing and to project the discipline and challenge of ballet classes to the present students and those to come.
