Designed in 1938, it was not built until the 1950s, being opened on 10 October 1958 by John Maclay, Secretary of State for Scotland.

Potential pupils audition in the spring/summer and start classes the following school year, if they receive a placement.

For subjects deemed not entirely necessary to their education, they return to the dance school and receive vocational training instead.

Students in the Dance course study modern, jazz, national, tap and contemporary, with a primary focus on ballet.

The Dance Course's Showcase is performed in June (usually at The Theatre Royal, The King's Theatre or The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall) If accepted pupils live too far away to travel from home on a daily basis, they can be offered a place at the school's nearby residential building to stay in during the week.
