The academy with a big heart

Ace Studios is an established  Dance & Performing Arts Studios based in Southport. As Loreto Bamber the school has been running for 50 years,  following the retirement of Miss Bamber, the studios reopened  as Ace Studios. The Stage & Theatre Academy offers specialised training, with a selection of classes and courses from beginners to advanced level, all held at Castle Street Studios which offers an excellent environment in which to learn. 

Weekly classes are available in Acro dance, Ballet, Contemporary, Commercial/Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theatre (act, dance, sing) & Tap. Also on offer is vocational training, specialised classes, festival work, university and conservatoire  preparation. Vocational qualifications available are: ISTD Teaching Diploma in Dance Education (DDE) in Modern Theatre & Tap, alongside RSL certificates and diplomas in creative and performing arts at level 2 (equivalent of 1 - 4 GCSE’s) & level 3 (equivalent of 1 - 3 A levels’). Further subjects are GCSE & A level Dance. Please visit our vocational and DDE page for further information. 

Ace Studios facilitates arts activities for everyone, specialising in skills development and transferable life skills.  We also run a variety of projects, inclusive home education courses offering children and young people the opportunity to access a variety of dance and performing arts activities. 

 

Performance & Competitive Dance

If you are a committed dancer who attends our regular class programs: minimal 3 classes you can be invited to join our dance company team. The age ranges between 7 and 18 years old

Students who wish to compete in solos, duos and trios will require further private lessons with one of our qualified teachers.  Entering events is a fantastic way to build your performance skills.

Ace Studios is home to competition teams in Musical Theatre &  Contemporary  /Jazz/Lyrical. Teams attend events & local competitions over the year. 

While our teams’ focus is on performances, events and competitions, our mantra encompasses a broader range of objectives, including building a strong dance & performance foundation, embracing the spirit of collaborative team work, and exercising the highest sportsmanship at all times.

Attendance is a very important aspect of being a member of the Team.  When a dancer is absent, they are missing important lessons and they are holding up the choreography progress.  Teams will only be successful if everyone acts and thinks like a team.  Therefore we need and expect 100% dedication. 

 

At Ace studios all students perform in the annual showcase at the Southport Little Theatre

Ace Studios offer a range of dance and performing arts classes. Whether you want to pursue a dance career, learn a new hobby, or just have fun – Ace studios offer all this and so much more! 

Our professional teachers are RAD, ISTD and NATD qualified, and have enhanced DBS checks.
