About the County School of Dancing

The County School of Dancing was taken over by Molly Richardson in 1957. Her daughter Mary Richardson, the current owner has run the School since 1966.

The School is well established in the UK and has a reputation for teaching excellence producing some of the top young dancers in recent years.

It doesn't only cater for competitors however. Every night of the week there are classes for Beginners and Improvers in both Latin and Ballroom. Monthly tea dances are held so that you have somewhere to practice your skills, and the School hosts 2 Black Tie functions a year often with a live band and cabaret, so that you can enjoy a glamorous evening!

The County School also has a celebrity connection as Ian Waite, one of the stars of the BBC's 'Strictly Come Dancing' trained for over 8 years with Mary and is still based at the County School.

You can be assured of a warm welcome, so why not take the plunge and come to one of our classes.
