Get your sequins ready — it’s that time of year again! The sparkle, the suspense and the spectacular dancing of Strictly Lymington are back this November, and we couldn’t be prouder that our very own Principal, Miss Kayleigh Sargeant, will once again be stepping into the spotlight.

Dance isn’t just for children—at NFAD, our adult classes offer learners of all ages a chance to rediscover movement, creativity, and community in a supportive environment.

Dance is more than steps and technique — it’s a powerful tool for personal growth. At New Forest Academy of Dance, we see it every day: how movement transforms self-belief, encourages creativity, and teaches skills that extend far beyond the studio.

At the New Forest Academy of Dance, the safety and wellbeing of our students is always our top priority.

There’s So Much for Adults to Enjoy at NFAD!
At the New Forest Academy of Dance, we believe dance is for everyone — at every age and stage. Whether you’re looking to keep fit, try something new, or rediscover a long-lost love of dance, we offer a wide range of classes and workshops designed especially for adults.

At the New Forest Academy of Dance, we believe that dance should be joyful, accessible — and available to every child, wherever they are.

That’s why our teachers don’t just work in the studio — they also head out into the community to deliver engaging, movement-based sessions in local pre-schools, nurseries, and other early years settings across the New Forest area.

At NFAD, the right uniform is an important requirement - it sets the tone for class, helps them feel part of the community, and ensures they can dance safely.

We’re thrilled to welcome Miss Nicole to the teaching team at NFAD!

NAP – NFAD’s Associates Programme for Year 7+ dancers: monthly workshops to push further, dance stronger, and gain recognition beyond the studio.

Over the past few months we’ve been working behind the scenes to create a site that truly reflects the spirit of NFAD and makes it easier than ever for families to find what they need. Our aim was simple: to build a welcoming, modern, and easy-to-navigate home for everything NFAD.

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new class this September: Stretch, Strengthen & Sculpt.

This class is open to everyone from Year 8 upwards, including adults.

How do you know if your child is ready to start dance classes? And what will their first few weeks be like?

This term has seen an incredible run of success for several of our talented students — from full-time vocational placements to major professional castings. Here, we celebrate three stand-out achievements from Quinn, Stephanie & Amelie, and Ella.

Our P.R.O.U.D Values express the spirit of NFAD, not just as a dance school, but as a place where young people grow in confidence, creativity, and character.

Dance isn’t just fun—it’s a powerful tool for physical, mental, and social development. At NFAD, we see how movement impacts lives from the youngest beginners to our dedicated adult class.
