Graham School Of Dance & Theatre Arts

For over 30 years, Graham School of Dance & Theatre Arts has been delivering exceptional Performing Arts training across Hertfordshire and Essex. From our youngest dancers at just 18 months to those pursuing professional qualifications, we offer a nurturing, inspiring environment where students of all ages build confidence, develop lifelong friendships, and gain skills that support them both on and off the stage.

Our classes are fun, friendly, and educational — designed to encourage creativity, teamwork, and self-expression. Whether your child dreams of a career in performance or simply wants to explore their passion, we’re here to guide them every step of the way.

We are proud to run our outstanding classes in a variety of locations, including Hertford, Church Langley, Saffron Walden, Harlow, Sawbridgeworth, and Stansted Mountfitchet, as well as at our stunning purpose-built studios in the heart of Bishop’s Stortford.

Recognised both nationally and internationally, we are one of the UK’s leading pre-vocational Performing Arts schools. Our long-standing accreditation with the Council for Dance, Drama and Musical Theatre (CDMT) ensures that our teaching meets the highest standards — not only in technical excellence, but also in safeguarding and child development.

At Graham, every student is treated as an individual. Our ethos is to inspire and nurture each child, encouraging a lifelong love for the Performing Arts while helping them grow in confidence, creativity, and joy.
