About Us

Teaching dance for over 35 years.

The school was first established in 1987 and has venues in Eaton Bray, Totternhoe and Dunstable. We teach a variety of styles of dance: RAD Ballet, ISTD Tap, Modern and Jazz also a free style hip hop/street dance class. We also have an adult ballet class.

Classes are taught by fully qualified teachers and we are registered with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and the International Society for Teachers of Dance (ISTD).

Performance Opportunities at JoAnn Latus School of Dance

    • Every few years we stage a school show bringing together students from all of our classes. Our latest big production; ’It’s Time to Dance’ was staged in July 2023 at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury. In addition to this, pupils are selected and invited to dance at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London for ‘Young Performers’ charitable organisation, Disneyland Theme Park Paris and Portaventura Theme Park in Spain for the Mardi Gras Dance group. In May 2017 the school took 80 students to perform in ‘Stars in the Round’ at The Royal Albert Hall. This, as you can imagine, is an excellent experience for those participating as well as parents watching.

    Hear from our wonderful dance community!

    ” From the age of three {my daughters} have enjoyed regularly coming to you, where they haven’t just learnt how to dance but gained many life skills and experiences.
    Fifteen years dancing has created many wonderful memories and close friendships. Dancing has helped get them through the many trials and tribulations of school and what life has thrown at them along the way. “
    “ My daughter has been attending Jo’s ballet class since she was little and absolutely loves the class. I’ve watched her grow from a little girl to a graceful and confident dancer and she really has improved over the years.
    The classical ballet training really shows through,  the classes are fun, inclusive and she has loved being part of the dance community. “
