Boscott Dance School was established in the early 1970's. Sue Finch, one of their early pupils, is now the school's principal. We are qualified teachers with the International Dance Teachers Association and have teachers and helpers who attend all classes providing extra support to our pupils.
We provide regular classes and private lessons in Ballroom, Latin and Sequence dancing. There are two venues Rowheath Pavilion and Weoley Hill Village Hall, on the Bournville Village Trust Estate, Birmingham.
A social night is held every Monday 20:00 - 22:00 at Rowheath Pavilion and we provide themed nights at various times of the year.
Dance awards are offered for pupils who like the extra challenge, followed by a presentation evening to celebrate achievements.
Sue - Principal
My life of dancing started in the 1970s when Brian and Barbara opened their first junior class at Quinton. I progressed through the IDTA medal system and competed in medallist competitions until I took an interest in teaching. Whilst helping at the school in both junior and adult classes I gained my teaching skills and achieved the IDTA teaching qualification in 1993.
When Brian and Barbara made the decision to take a step back, I was delighted to have the opportunity to become the new principal of Boscott Dance School and begin a new exciting chapter of my life in dance.
James
Having begun dancing with the Boscott School at the age of four in the Rosette class, James progressed through the medal system and competed in Midland area medallist competitions. In 2010, he moved into the adult classes and continued to advance through the award structure.
In 2014, James began assisting in the adult classes and became actively involved in the day-to-day running of the school. In 2021, he graduated university with a first-class BSc (Hons) and is now a director of a live events production company. Alongside teaching across all adult classes and private lessons, he also supports social events and administrative operations.
Barbara & Brian
Brian and Barbara met at a ballroom dancing school in the 1950s. Barbara had previously trained with a theatre school, while Brian had no prior dance experience. In the mid-1970s, they opened the Brian & Barbara Boscott School of Dancing, having qualified with the IDTA in Ballroom in 1974 and later in Latin in 1982.
After teaching for almost 50 years, they decided it was time to pass the school on to their friend and fellow teacher, Sue, while continuing to offer private lessons and assist in classes. In 2020, Brian and Barbara were awarded Lifetime Membership of the IDTA.
Laura
Laura joined the Boscott Dance School in 2007 and quickly discovered a passion for dancing, finding it to be a wonderful hobby for making new friends and building confidence and achievement. She has completed the IDTA amateur awards up to and including International Supreme 4 and proudly displays her awards.
As a full-time carer, Laura brings a natural empathy to her role and enjoys spending her leisure time assisting in classes and during the Monday social evenings. Seeing pupils improve their dancing is a particularly rewarding experience.
