Welcome to Southside Dance Academy - East Renfrewshire's newest dance school located in Netherlee and Stamperland Parish Church Hall, Glasgow. Classes run on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings for students age 2+ in a range of styles including tap, jazz, commercial, hip-hop and pom.

​

Classes are run by myself, Kerry Duggan, a fully qualified B.A.T.D. dance teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience. I am also the former President of Glasgow University DanceMania. Choreographing over 15 routines for the University, I have also led the University of Glasgow's Comp Hip-Hop Team in competitions across the UK.

​

The unique selling points of Southside Dance Academy:

• No exams = no pressure. Classes are structured to encourage dancers to develop their own style and grow in confidence without the added pressure of being graded or their progress being restricted to a syllabus. 

• Each dance is upbeat and has commercial/hiphop influences to drive out performance and style.

• Pom classes will be a unique combination of traditional pom and NFL sideline cheerleading.

• Teaching staff continue to train in dance to ensure  choreography/classes are evolving with the rest of the dance world.

• Adult commercial classes - the first of its kind in the Southside.

• Competition teams coming in 2025-2026 (dependent on interest).

• Small class sizes to maximise learning and to nurture each dancer's unique potential.

​

Alongside show routines, dancers will learn combinations and improve their performance skills. In our first year, we hosted two dance shows, performed at the Clarkston Christmas Lights Switch On and attended Can You Dance? - the UK's largest dance convention. We look forward to putting on our first show in Summer 2025 and to other performance opportunities.

​

We aim to create a safe, creative and enjoyable environment where dancers can call their home and make friends for life. I'm excited to be bringing some sass to the Southside and can't wait to meet you all.

Sincerely
