Demi Point Dance Studio


Demi Point Dance Studio was established in 1980 in the Republic of South Africa under the name “Lecia Hale Dance Academy”. After relocating to the UK, we've rebranded and relaunched our dance studio at St Johns Youth Hall in St. Johns and Brookwood Memorial Hall in Brookwood.

Demi Point Dance Studio offers Ballet and Modern Jazz classes for all ages. We offer adult Ballet classes and private personal tuition for those looking to improve their skills in either dance forms. Demi Point Dance Studio is an intimate, family orientated studio that nurtures each student in their passion for dance.

Students learn posture, discipline and coordination in a team environment. We encourage all students to achieve their personal goals by building confidence and maximising their potential.
