Academy of Dance

Academy of Dance is one of Gibraltar’s long-running dance schools, with official local coverage describing its work across four decades under director Paulette Finlayson. That gives it a more established studio-school feel than a newer drop-in class.

The academy’s public awards and performance coverage shows children moving through the Royal Academy of Dance pathway from Pre-Primary and Primary upwards, with students recognised across multiple grades and age groups. So this reads as a structured classical training route rather than a casual one-style class.

The tone around the academy is very much about discipline, respect, and personal development alongside performance. If you are looking for something that feels formal, traditional, and built around steady dance progression, this is one of the clearest fits on the site.
