Dance to your heart’s content in this energetic and fun artform

From beginners to aspiring professionals, we’ve helped more than three generations of students to express themselves through dance.

The birthday party was AMAZING. Charlotte was on cloud 9 – she had an absolute blast – and your entire team was wonderful to work with and so great with the kids! Thank you so much for all of your help leading up to the party! A lot of guests commented on how great the party was as well so hopefully you’ll get a few requests for upcoming parties!

The AOD is a great place to learn and have fun. They have options for serious training as well as recreational dancers. My daughters have enjoyed their classes immensely, and the classes have helped them to develop their coordination, balance, skills and confidence.

We moved to the area from England and came across this dance school, it was the best find for my 7 year old daughter. Ms. Valerie has a great set of teachers and the expertise is of a high standard. The proof is in the end of year show which is simply AMAZING, and speaks to the excellence of this performing arts school. Highly recommended.

So glad to be part of the AOD community. Not only are these kids learning from incredible teachers, they’re having fun and developing their talent. We’ve been very impressed in our experience. It’s a magical gem in Chester.
