Welcome to The Anita Murray School of Dance

 

Hello and welcome!  My name is Rachael Cleverley (Miss Rachael), and I am the Principal of Anita Murray School of Dance.  Our school was first established by my mother Anita in 1969, making us one of the longest-running and best-known dance schools in the local area.  We have been teaching and nurturing children in the joy of dance for over 50 years!

After gaining my qualifications I danced professionally in the UK and abroad, before returning to teach for the school.  With over 20 years of teaching experience to my name, I now oversee all aspects of our school, with help from my team.

Our teachers are highly qualified members of the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance), ISTD (International Society of Teachers of Dancing), and Acrobatic Arts.  All teachers hold their DBS and most are first-aid trained.  This ensures that students are taught to the highest levels and all safety standards are adhered to.

Starting from age 3, classes are available in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Commercial, Acro, Lyrical/Contempary, Pointe, Street, and Musical Theatre. Classes are currently held at Primrose Gardens (Chorley) and Bishop Rawstorne C of E High School (Croston).
