Morphew School of Dance was founded by Pauline Morphew over 50 years ago to provide high-quality tuition in the three key dance genres - Ballet, Tap and Modern. The main school is based in Trowbridge, and there are three "outreach" branches in Bradford-on-Avon, Bratton, and Chippenham.

The school places great emphasis on the performing aspect of dance and this is highlighted by the biennial show, involving all the pupils of the school. All 400+ students in the school are given the opportunity to perform whether they are three years old or adult. The show is normally performed over a week at the Civic Hall in Trowbridge. Other opportunities to perform arise from requests from other organisations and our dancers are regularly involved in local fetes, shows and pantomimes. At the end of every term, parents are invited to the final class.

We hold external examination sessions usually at the end of each term. We would expect on average one examination per year per genre. Examinations are held at the main school in Trowbridge and are optional.
The school follows the syllabus of the British Ballet Organisation and caters for all standards from complete beginner right up to the most advanced level, with a number of students going on to vocational schools and colleges.

Dance has the ability to instill confidence, build discipline and above all, be great fun! Many schools charge very high fees, often even charging students to perform in a show! The Morphew School of Dance is founded on the principle that dance should be accessible and affordable, and the fee structure is designed to reflect this, even offering a 10% reduction if more than one person in a family takes dance classes.
