Deanna School of Dancing

The Deanna School of Dancing (DSD) was established in 1980 by Deanna Jayasuriya. She built her own dance school consisting of two studios on par with international standards, with its sprung floors, barres and mirrors. It is a well established and unique school of education and training in ballet, contemporary dance and choreography.

We offer a safe, friendly and nurturing environment where students enjoy the highest quality training delivered by passionate and skilled dance teachers. The forte of the school is that all teachers who are employed have been students from a young age who later qualified as Royal Academy of Dance (RAD UK) teachers.

The main objective of the school is to prepare students for a career in professional dancing. Our vision is to uphold international standards in dancing and encourage students to acquire a special and highly valued approach to this art. The school has a unique atmosphere that fosters the development of a strong personal identity through learning, self-reflection, research and creative discovery.
