Miss Avril
taught for Mrs Blondel when she was Principal of the Lesley Blondel
School of Dance. Miss Avril took over from Mrs Blondel in 2006, but
she remains at active member of our ballet

The Hazel Rowe Studio
This is a multi-purpose space, but is ideal for small classes, private tuition, drama and singing. It features Harlequin Cascade flooring, Harlequin fixed ballet barres, mirrors and a flexible sound system.
Hazel is well known in dance and drama circles and was Miss Avril's first dance teacher. Hazel also encouraged Miss Avril from a young age to pursue her interest in drama.
The Margaret Gaudion Studio
Our second largest teaching space can be used for all types of dance and drama classes, but is ideally suited to ballet as it has the longest length of ballet barres. It also features a sprung Harlequin Cascade floor, Harlequin fixed ballet barres, mirrors and a flexible sound system.
Margaret was Principal of her own school until 1990 when she passed it on to one of her teachers, Lesley Blondel. It was during Margaret's time as Principal that Miss Avril joined the school. She remains a member of the organising committee for the Guernsey Dance Festival
