Estelle School of Dance

Estelle School of Dance is excited to announce a contemporary dance event that is sure to captivate dance enthusiasts in the Swindon area. With a rich history spanning 60 years, Estelle School of Dance has become a beloved institution in the local dance community.

Founded by the talented Patricia Bennett on her 20th birthday, the school has flourished under her guidance. Miss Bennett has dedicated her life to teaching, supporting, and inspiring generations of dancers. She continues to teach classes of all ages, showcasing her passion for the art form.

Throughout the years, Estelle School of Dance has earned a stellar reputation, attracting families who have been dancing with the school for multiple generations. It is not uncommon to find siblings and even parents and their children all participating in classes together. This sense of community and continuity is truly special.

One of the highlights of Estelle School of Dance is their annual performances at The Wyvern Theatre, where they have raised over £100,000 for charitable causes such as The Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. This year, their show, 'The Slipper and The Rose', will be in aid of the Brighter Futures Radiotherapy appeal. Not only do these performances demonstrate the talents of the dancers, but they also allow the school to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

In addition to their regular shows, Estelle School of Dance collaborates with The Immanuel Dramatic Society to put on an annual pantomime, providing entertainment and joy to the local community. This wonderful partnership showcases the school's commitment to spreading the love of dance beyond their own studio walls.

To commemorate its 60th anniversary, Estelle School of Dance is thrilled to have an ex-pupil, now a film editor at the BBC, creating a documentary about Miss Bennett and the school. This documentary will tell the inspiring story of Miss Bennett's dedication to dance and the impact she has had on her students' personal journeys and development. It promises to be a moving tribute to a woman who has dedicated her life to the power of dance.
