Central School of Dance was formerly the Liz Robinson School of Dancing and founded in 1986 and classes were originally held at St Matthew's church hall. The school expanded and moved up to Trinity and finally settled into the newly refurbished Trinity Youth Centre. Fabulous facilities and the use of two halls and also on the route of the school buses. Senior students can arrive early and use the youth centre to do homework before or after class. Younger children will always be supervised and looked after by our staff. We are very much a family focused school. Liz and Cheryl have been friends as well as work colleagues for over 30yrs and both her daughters attended dance classes here with Naomi qualifying and subsequently coming back to teach and run the school.
Daughter of fellow teacher Cheryl Barr, Naomi followed in her families footsteps, and after watching her sister in the sidelines, she started dancing at the age of 2. She has always wanted to be a dance teacher and has completed 3 years at a London dance academy. Naomi eventually became the Principal of Central School of Dance when the school's founder Elizabeth Robinson stepped down.
