Wendy Sandercock RAD RTS

The Wendy Sandercock Academy of Dance is a well established and extremely successful school, run by Principal Wendy Sandercock RAD RTS, a fully qualified and registered teacher of The Royal Academy, with classes held in Torquay, Newton-Abbot and Teignmouth.   We ensure our classes are always of manageable sizes in order to provide individual attention to each pupil at every stage of their development. We believe in quality and not quantity thus retaining our very high standards.  Pupils follow the syllabus of The Royal Academy of Dance and examaminations are held twice a year for those wishing to take grades and Vocational examinations, in Ballet, Modern and Tap and NEW for 2019 is our Royal Ballet School Pre-Associate Programme.

The results always reflect the very high standards of the school, and pupils always attain 100% pass rate. The children always enjoy taking part in local and national competitions, again winning lots of cups and medals, with a number of pupils taking part in “All England Finals” over the years (please also see our News Pages). The school stages its own show yearly, which is great fun!

Some of our pupils take a step further and take part in professional shows and dance alongside the “stars” in Pantomimes, Ballet companies and Summer Shows. Many have taken part within productions of the English Youth Ballet Company (See Gallery). Pupils over the years have been readily accepted by vocational schools, such as, The Royal Ballet School, Elmhurst Ballet School in association with Birmingham Royal Ballet, Ballet Rambert, Northern Ballet School, Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and more. A lot of former pupils are dancing in Ballet companies in this country and abroad or involved in television and west end productions as well as characters and performers in DisneyLand (Paris) as well as the Disney Cruise Line.  We as a school have a number of junior and mid associates of The Royal Ballet School, where children are selected by audition for a place.

 

We welcome all newcomers to the school and there is a class suitable for everyone from the age of 3 years to student level.
