Dance Alley first opened its doors in March 1993, with just a handful of pupils.  Since that date it has grown to one of the biggest Dance Schools in the Medway Towns.  The Principal, Alison Plummer is also an Examiner with the International Dance Teachers Association and all of the teachers currently teaching at the School are past pupils themselves.   

The Brook Theatre is “our home” and we are lucky to have the benefit of Dance Studios complete with mirrors and barres, our own Changing Area, as well as the Theatre itself – should we need to rehearse on  stage or for our bi-annual show.
