Charlotte Davies Scott Testimonial

“WVR Dance Academy gave me so much confidence to progress to the next step. I loved the opportunity to dance at a more advanced level and use the college's facilities!”

Charlotte joined the WVR Dance Academy last year while she was in year 11 at St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School. Charlotte absolutely loved the experience, and within just four weeks, she felt she had gained valuable skills. For Charlotte, discovering WVR Dance Academy was the highlight of her year 11 journey, and it played a key role in helping her decide to study dance at Warrington & Vale Royal College this September.

Shannen Stocks

“The WVR Dance Academy is not to be missed. I encourage anyone in Year 10 or 11 with an interest in dance to come along and enjoy these workshops. At the very least, you will learn tonnes of new skills, make friends and have fun, but you might also discover your perfect next step towards a career in performing arts!”

Heading up the WVR Dance Academy's exhilerating workshops is our expert dance tutor Shannen Stocks, who is an internationally renowned dancer and award-winner, having been crowned the WDC’s Vice Champion and the ITDA’s Medallist of the Year in 2023.

It was her desire to spread the word about Warrington & Vale Royal College’s vibrant dance course that has led her to head up this exciting opportunity for local young people.
