Workshops

Various workshops are held during the year with the aim to expand the students knowledge of all stage craft. Topics include choreography, costume design, stage make-up, stage design, music and drama. These workshops are not only great fun but provide an environment for the children to make new friends, build their confidence and improve their social skills.

EDA will hold 5 workshops a year. These will be held on the last Saturday of every term. We will have guest teachers come in and take Hip Hop, Belly Dancing, Yoga, Bollywood, Ball room Dancing and much more!! Please check back here to find out more or check the notice boards outside the studios.

School show

Edinburgh Dance Academy hold a yearly school production where every pupil is invited to take part. The dates in the year may vary so please keep an eye out for any show information.

"Chance to Dance" Scholarship Fund

This fund helps many students with various financial needs. Funds are used for several purposes ranging from paying for audition fees/travel expenses to paying for staff for free workshops.

The level of funding varies from a small percentage through to full scholarship and is at the complete discretion of the Artistic Director.

Pantomime at the King´s Theatre

In recent years Edinburgh Dance Academy has provided all the young dancers for the Pantomime at the King´s Theatre, Edinburgh. Children are selected by the Academy Principal and then undertake a strenuous rehearsal schedule before commencing the seven week theatre run. This is invaluable experience for all of the children. They have the opportunity to work alongside professional actors, dancers and musicians and they truly experience real life in the theatre. Confidence levels boom and many go on to plan for a career on the stage.
