Success Stories 

Many of our students have gone on to complete their training at prestigious vocational schools including, The Royal Ballet School, Italia Conti, London Studio Centre, Bird College, Laine Theatre Arts and Urdang Academy. Some have enjoyed professional dance careers performing on Cruise ships, dancing in holiday resorts, Disney Land Paris, TV work and singing and performing in cabarets across the country. We are very proud that so many students have eventually opened their own schools in Coventry – all these teachers started their journeys at the Sylvia Bird School of Dance.
