About Us...

The Vernon Johnson School Of Dance was founded in 1918 and is one of the longest running dance schools in Liverpool.
The school was originally owned by Madame Vernon Johnson and was called Madame Vernon Johnson's Academy of Singing and Dancing; offering classes in dance, singing, elocution, and classes for business girls who wished to improve their poise, make-up, general deportment and speech.
Madame Vernon Johnson had two daughters Olga and Grace who followed in her footsteps and performed in all her shows.
Miss Grace Johnson at the age of 11 was described as Liverpool's Long Boot Dancer, performing in boots 24 inches long.
In 1951 Miss Grace Johnson went on to produce a show called Rainbow Land which involved over 100 Merseyside children at the Tower ballroom, New Brighton.
After Grace's sister Olga had passed away, Grace ran the school by herself. The school was now called Vernon Johnson school of Dance and Drama.
Grace or 'The Boss' as she was known remained the owner until her sad passing in 1992. The school was willed to Miss Margaret Roberts and Miss Cheryl Duffy who then became the principles.
