About Us
Founded in December 2024 by Principal Melissa Dore, Prestige Studios is dedicated to providing exceptional dance training in a warm and inspiring environment.
We offer exam classes in:
- Ballet, following the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus
- Tap & Modern, following the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabus
Alongside this, students can enjoy a wide variety of non-syllabus classes, including Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Acro, Musical Theatre, Stretch and Body conditioning, ensuring a well rounded dance education for every age and ability.
With small class sizes and passionate, nurturing teachers, each student receives individual attention to help them grow in technique, confidence and creativity.
Our Values
High Standards, Kind Teaching
We believe children thrive when expectations are clear and support is constant. Our classes balance excellent technical training with patience, kindness, and understanding, so every child feels motivated.
Every Child Is Seen
No child should feel overlooked. We take the time to understand each dancer’s personality, pace, and needs, helping them grow in a way that feels right for them. Your child is known, valued, and supported at Prestige Studios.
More Than Dance
Beyond technique and performance, dance teaches confidence, discipline, teamwork, resilience, and respect. At Prestige Studios, these life skills are woven into every class, supporting your child both inside and outside the studio.

Miss Melissa

Miss Melissa discovered her passion for dance at the age of two, a love that has shaped and driven her career ever since.

In 2015, Miss Melissa launched her professional performing career with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, where she spent seven years performing and travelling worldwide. During breaks between contracts, she also had a wide range of performance opportunities throughout the UK.
Over the years, Miss Melissa has choreographed for numerous shows, festivals, and competitions, including Miss Dance of Great Britain, Move It, and Can You Dance.
In 2024, she further expanded her professional credentials by qualifying as a Registered RAD Ballet Teacher.
As the Principal of Prestige Studios, Miss Melissa is passionate about nurturing talent, building confidence, and inspiring every student to reach their full potential through high-quality dance training.
