About Us 

​

The Jill Foster Dance Centre is Milton Keynes' original Ballroom and Freestyle dance school. Established in 1980, the JFDC has been running for 43 years providing dance for all ages and abilities throughout the Milton Keynes area. Third and even fourth generation dancers now attend the school and enjoy the professional but friendly approach afforded by all members of staff. Many thousands of IDTA dance exams have been taken since the first exam session in 1981. Hundreds of Teachers have also trained at the JFDC including the winners of IDTA scholarships in recognition of their excellence. The staff, all of whom have grown up through the JFDC, are fully qualified IDTA teachers with experience as successful competitors. Their dedication and enthusiasm are second to none.

The Freestyle Competitive Squad spreads the JFDC name far and wide with their successes at competitions and festivals through the UK. The squad is trained by Christian Kemp who was a champion grade competitor and title holder.

The JFDC presents an annual charity showcase where all dancers are given the opportunity to perform at the Chrysalis Theatre, Willen. Although we are not a performing arts school every cast member gives a great performance and enjoys their time in the spotlight while raising money for local charities.

The JFDCs main studio is at the beautiful MK Snap building in Walnut Tree. The studio boasts a sprung floor and full-length mirrors in a light and airy environment. Free parking and excellent facilities are an added bonus to our provision.
