"People have asked me why I chose to be a dancer. I did not choose.
I was chosen to be a dancer, and with that, you live all your life."
Martha Graham
Chantry School of Contemporary & Balletic Arts is proud to be the official vocational school of the UK contemporary ballet company CHANTRY DANCE COMPANY
"What you do for all your students is allow them to be themselves, you give them the platform to take risks and not feel judged...and because of that your students flourish"
(Chantry student's parent)
