Lessons for exams, dance shows, and performances

We encourage all our students to progress and develop by taking exams, and we have a minimum of three sessions throughout the year. The highlight of our year is our Dancing Delight show, held in July, which although not compulsory, most of our students from beginners to more experienced dancers perform. During the year we are invited to perform in various local charity events, fetes and galas. Many of our students successfully audition and perform in pantomimes and musicals at local theatres.

The show must go on...

The Sylvia Bird School of Dance was founded by the late Miss Sylvia Bird over 65 years ago. Sylvia trained thousands of children over the years, with many becoming professional dancers, singers or actors. 

Lots of Coventry kids have danced at Sylvia's, the building in Brays Lane housing many happy memories! Two of Sylvia's most long standing assistants, Linda Chamberlain and Joy Thomas worked very hard to keep the school open after Sylvia passed away suddenly in 2009. 

Losing Sylvia affected everyone very deeply, but it was the loyalty that she instilled in us that made us determined to keep the school open, and to keep her memory alive. The show must go on, one more time girls.... we do what we do, Team SB forever! 

Our dancing school is still located at the original premises on Brays Lane, now owned by Dev Barrett. Our purpose built dance studio is on the first floor above Dev's dojo. We have changing facilities, a dance shop, large studio and a smaller studio. The school is open daily, with the exception of Tuesday and Sunday.
