FD Boys
We are proud to have so many FD boys training across all subject - some of the strongest all round dancers in the city.
Since 1982 thousands of students have danced through our doors
Freeman Dance was established in Coventry in 1982 by Jill Freeman. Today we are one of the largest dance schools in the Midlands, and on our third generation of Freeman Dancers (teaching grandchildren of former pupils!)
We offer first class all round dance training from beginners to professional level, preparing students for a future in dance should they choose it.
Since 1982, Freeman Dance have actively encouraged boys into dance. In 2017 we staged ‘Dare to Dance’ and we firmly stand by it’s message that dancing is not “just for girls”. Our FD Boys prove this by being some of the strongest, most talented, all round dancers in the city.
Unparalleled student success
Freeman Dance are dedicated to provide the highest standard of technical and performance training. This is rewarded when so many of our students are accepted into the UK’s most prestigious dance colleges and universities, many with
full-scholarships.
Many of our students go on to perform professionally in the West End, on world tours, and in TV & film.
Follow us on social media to keep up with what our students are doing.
