Knightswood Secondary School, Glasgow

The Dance School of Scotland has been in existance since 1983. The Dance School is made up of approximately 80 pupils who have come to Knightswood Secondary School in order to train for a career in Dance and Musical Theatre. Its success can be measured in terms of the numbers of its former pupils who have been successful in their chosen field.
For example seven are members of the Scottish Ballet Company, others are members of dance companies in England and many are employed in television and West End stage shows. The dance tuition is based on the classical technique and pupils take certificate examinations at the different stages of their training.
They also leave Knightswood with at least six Standard Grades and up to five Highers. Most Dance pupils continue their training in schools in England where their high level of training ensures their place in excellent dance colleges.
