Welcome to JVS Performing Arts

'Dance is a journey, start your's today!'

JVS Performing Arts was established in Nuneaton in 1993 and is an excellent choice for dance & drama tuition.
We believe that first class teaching should be available for everyone, and though the emphasis on our classes is fun, you can be confident that you are receiving the very best in performing arts training.

At JVS Performing Arts, learning is about much more than simply imparting knowledge, therefore we use modern teaching methods to suit the individual learning needs of our students and to build teamwork and a sense of social responsibility. 


We offer dance examinations with Royal Academy of Dance, Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, BBOdance, American Ballet Theatre, and London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art drama examinations alongside Aerial Arts, Commercial, Street Dance, Contemporary, Acrobatics and Tumbling classes.


All of our teachers are DBS checked, fully qualified in multiple dance genres, and licensed with world class organisations including the Royal Academy of Dance, Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, BBOdance, LAMDA, and American Ballet Theatre. They have a wealth of teaching knowledge along with worldwide performing experience. 


Our faculty includes teachers with Examiner and Fellowship status with the Royal Academy of Dance, Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, BBOdance and Lamda. We are an Associate Dance School with ‘Chance to Dance’ working in partnership with the Royal Opera House and Royal Ballet and have two Associate Dance Artists within our teaching faculty.

Our classes range from beginner to professional teaching diploma level, as an approved dance centre we are proud to have trained many of the areas dance teachers here at JVS.

JVS students are trained to extremely high standards, some of our past students are performing and teaching worldwide with companies such as Matthew Bourne's New Adventures, Ballet Central, Royal Caribbean Cruise lines, and Ballet Theatre UK to name a few. 


Having our past students progressing to such prestigious companies is a great testament to our teaching and training methods.


All of the examinations our students take are fully recognised and are awarded on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Our students completing grade 6 and above can even convert their exam results for each dance genre directly into UCAS points upon application to university if they wish to pursue academic pathways.

Aren’t all dance schools the same?

All of our teachers are fully qualified and our students progress through carefully structured dance syllabi to ensure their safety and well-being at all stages of their dance training to fully support their individual growth and development. 
 
A school’s emotional atmosphere can affect your child’s self-esteem and happiness, at JVS we are proud to have created a friendly, professional learning environment that champions success and encourages all students to reach their full potential whilst making lifelong friendships.  
 
We frequently see students who have studied for up to ten years at second-rate schools. It’s very sad to see how little they’ve learned and what poor value their parents have received for their money.

At JVS we are an Approved Dance Centre delivering Level 4 Professional Teaching Diplomas in Dance Education (DDE) - We train dance teachers! This means that our teaching faculty are completely up to date with their subject knowledge and that your child in turn will benefit from receiving the best quality dance training with the most current teaching methods.
