ABOUT US

We are a family friendly dance school with caring and fully qualified teachers. All pupils are given the opportunity to participate in exams/medal tests in Ballet, tap, jazz, and street dance following the Professional Teachers of Dancing (PTD) syllabus. Pupils are also encouraged to take part in our shows, as performing is a fantastic confidence builder as well as great fun!!

At DJDA we are committed to encouraging all dancers to strive for excellence and enjoy the journey along the way! Our goal is to provide quality dance instruction through caring, professional teachers in a friendly, non- competitive, family orientated atmosphere.

Correct technique is taught in a fun, relaxed but controlled class. We have great relationships with all our fantastic and very supportive parents and the success of each dancer is the result of great team work between the dance studio and our dance studio families.

OUR HISTORY

The Debbie Jay Dance Academy is a well-established family friendly dance school in Formby that was founded in 2000. All Classes are held at the Dove Centre by Formby train station. Initially the school was set up by Jean Berel in 1965, then when she retired the reigns were passed over to Debbie.

Since 2000 classes have gone from strength to strength and pupil numbers have increased. Initially only Ballet, Jazz and Tap were on the timetable with Debbie being the only Teacher but now we offer Street dance, Commercial, Showgirl Academy, fitness classes on mini trampolines, Tinies Ballet, Tap and Bop classes, Combined Ballet, Tap & Jazz Classes, Pointe Strengthening and Musical Theatre Dance Classes. In addition to Miss Debbie the other teacher is Miss Georgia, plus we have numerous teaching assistants.

OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE

We have been established for over 20 years and in that time we have helped hundreds of children and young adults to learn new skills. Why walk when you can dance?

  • “Highly Recommended” My two eldest Daughters have attended Debbie Jay Dance Academy for many years and they continue to love their time there. Between them they have done classes in Street Dance, Pointe Strengthening, Bounce Boppers, Showgirl Academy, Tap and Jazz. Debbie ensures that the classes are of a high quality and also fun. I would not hesitate to recommend the Dance Academy.

  • We were made so welcome when we first started, and our daughter adores the classes. I’ve been amazed how Debbie builds her confidence and that of the other children, week on week: all the kids are recognised, praised and rewarded. Debbie has put such thought and care into organising safe classes and the safety measures actually become opportunities for the kids to play and have fun! I would thoroughly recommend DJDA!
