Hayley Mejias opened HSD Dance in 2008, offering ballet and tap lessons, but quickly took Wickford by storm.

We welcome all children from 1½ years to explore their creativity in our fully established classes: Ballet, Tap, Commercial, Hip-Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Acro, Musical Theatre, Jazz and Singing.


With HSD you have the chance to compete in competitions throughout the year, as well as unique performance opportunities. These include locations like Broadway, The Royal Albert Hall, The 02 and Her Majesty's Theatre.


The overall dance programme combined with Hayley's innovative and friendly teaching methods means each child is individually focused on, helping the child reach their full potential. In addition to dance, HSD offers a friendly environment to build the children's confidence and make lifelong friendships. Each class offers a different value to a child, be it an after school hobby or a platform for a future career.
