Double Twist Dance is a lyrical, contemporary, and ballet school for young people ages 3–17, established in 2013 in Stratford, London. The school is run and choreographed by Emma Levene and Emma Clandon, both professionally trained dancers with backgrounds in multiple dance styles. Classes operate at two locations in east London and online.
The school’s training combines ballet technique with elements of contemporary dance and jazz. Classes focus on developing students’ ability to express stories and emotions through movement. Programs include Little Twister ballet for ages 3–5, Junior Twister ballet for ages 5–7, and Junior ballet open for ages 7–11. Classes for ages 9–13 incorporate ballet, contemporary, lyrical, tap, and core and stretch. Adult classes in ballet, contemporary, and core and stretch are also available.
Students have performed at events including the Rouche Kids Fashion Show, Newham Major Show, Walthamstow Food and Drinks Festival, Wow Festival, Boy Blue Showcase, and charity events.
