Environment and Uniform

Students will be taught in a fun and stimulating atmosphere whilst maintaining the discipline necessary to achieve the highest standards possible for the school; this especially applies to basic courtesies such as punctuality. It is a requirement therefore for students to give full commitment to their training. The Nidus uniform is compulsory wear and the uniform list and order form can be obtained by contacting the school.

The tutors for the senior school are all working professionals in their own particular field of show business, thus enabling them not only to coach students, but to pass on invaluable experience, information and advice, and give them an insight into the professional world of the Performing Arts.

In 2002 The Nicholson-Dunbar School of Ballet (now Nidus Ballet School) which teaches Cecchetti ISTD ballet was formed with classes in Cwmbran & Pontypool. Then in April 2003 Nidus Theatre Arts opened its doors. Both schools are run by Principal Gabriela Nicholson-Dunbar, her husband Nicholas Dunbar and her sister Heidi Nicholson.
