About Us

Since 1957, our family has been dedicated to sparking a love for dance in individuals of all ages and abilities. With tailored guidance and support, we aim to inspire dancers to achieve their fullest potential while creating a community that unites people through the art of dance.

3 Generations of Dance

Molly Richardson took over the County School of Dancing in 1957 (68 years ago!) Her daughter, Mary Richardson, then ran the school from 1966, and now her daughter, Anna Dieguez, is at the helm, continuing the legendary school of dance for today's generation.

County Dance is well established in the UK and has a reputation for teaching excellence, producing some of the best young dancers in recent years. County Dance doesn't only cater to competitors - we pride ourselves on being able to cater to everyone, from 3 years old to 80+, from complete beginner to experienced professional. Whatever your circumstances, you can be assured of a warm welcome.

Dance Studios & Facilities

We are very fortunate to have two full-time studios and a large car park opposite the studios for our pupils (permit required). Our studios are fully equipped and foster a warm, friendly atmosphere for learning and socialising.

Our spacious dance floor, featuring sprung Canadian maple, is perfect for all types of dancing. We have a lobby, reception desk, seating for up to 100 people, including a converted raised stage area with a balcony, a kitchen, and male and female toilets. Built-in electronic music equipment, variable speed (essential for beginners) and a vast selection of strict tempo music. Soft lighting and, of course, the iconic Glitter Ball!
