Offering dance and drama classes in Watford and Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, Rise Studios provides professional training for children, teens, and adults. From ballet, tap, modern, and contemporary to street dance, hip hop, singing, and musical theatre, our goal is to inspire creativity, build confidence, and develop every student’s unique potential.
Students at Rise regularly have the chance to perform at local theatres and community events. Our annual Summer Show at the Watford Palace Theatre is a highlight, giving dancers the opportunity to showcase their skills on stage and gain real performing experience.
We run fun and engaging holiday workshops throughout the year, including a Summer School with two unique options:
🎭 Musical Theatre Week
💃 Professional Dance Week
Additional half-term workshops and Holiday Camps are also available for children who want to enjoy dance, drama, and performance during school breaks.
Our award-winning adult dance classes are a fantastic way to stay fit, learn new skills, and meet like-minded people. We offer a wide range of classes and create a welcoming, social environment where everyone feels part of the community.
Former students have gone on to train at leading performing arts schools, including Laine Theatre Arts, Arts Educational, Urdang Academy, and Stageworks Studios. Many continue to pursue professional careers in dance, drama, and theatre.
