ENBS occupies a large first floor area in a traditional Victorian red brick building in a quiet street in Chelsea. The school’s atmosphere is warm and welcoming, whilst still maintaining the air of a place of study and learning. The corridors are filled with the sound of music from the dance studios and there is a real buzz as students move around getting on with their daily activities.

As well as the sprung floor dance studios, there is a body conditioning studio and a weight training room. There are also a number of dedicated rooms for physiotherapy. The school has a well-stocked library and a study room, with computers providing internet access. Students have their own space to relax in the student lounge.

The school is very proud that part of dance history was preserved when the seating from the old Sadlers Wells theatre was rescued and installed in the studio balcony.

At present, we regret that the school premises are not easily accessible as they can only be reached by stairs.
