ROWAN ACADEMY OF DANCE

Setting The Standard

From opening Rowan Academy Of Dance the school has grown, improved and advanced greatly through much hard work and dedication from mother and daughter, Eleanor and Emma Cochrane.

We want to convey our love of dance to our students through many different types of performances, competitions, examinations and charitable events. We believe our students become part of our extended family.

Our teachers always take into account every young person’s aspirations and it is our belief that our success thus far is due to the high quality of professional and individual tuition given to each child in every class.
