About the school

Meet Miss Sophie.

Miss Sophie's School of Ballet is a small, friendly dance school in the heart of Wisborough Green. Classes are warm and welcoming, with the emphasis on good technique, musicality and, above all, enjoying every minute.

Ballet follows the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, the world's most respected ballet training, so children learn properly from their very first plié. Singing and theatre classes grow confidence, creativity and friendships that last well beyond the studio.

Whether your child dreams of the stage or simply loves to dance, there is a place for them here.

Come and say hello

Royal Academy of Dance

Real progress, properly recognised.

Our ballet classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus. When they are ready, pupils can take RAD class awards and examinations, earning certificates and medals that mark each step of their journey.

In 2025 our very first group of little dancers sat their RAD Pre-Primary in Dance assessments, and every one of them came away with a certificate and medal to be proud of.

  • Pre-Primary and Primary in Dance
  • Class awards and graded examinations

Questions

Things parents ask us.

What age can my child start ballet?

Children can start from pre-school age. Our youngest dancers learn through music, stories and play before moving on to the Royal Academy of Dance Pre-Primary and Primary grades. Get in touch and we will suggest the right class for your child.

Can we try a class before signing up?

Yes. We welcome new pupils with a trial class so your child can meet Miss Sophie and see if they enjoy it. Contact us by phone, email or Instagram to arrange one.

What should my child wear?

For a trial class, comfortable clothes they can move in and bare feet or ballet shoes if they have them. Once enrolled we will let you know the simple class uniform.

Do you take exams?

Yes. Our ballet classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and pupils have the option to take RAD examinations and class awards when they are ready. Our first dancers sat their RAD Pre-Primary in Dance assessments in 2025.

Where are classes held?

All classes are held at Zoar Chapel, Wisborough Green, Billingshurst, West Sussex, RH14 0BH, a lovely light hall in the heart of the village.
