Dance Classes

Thursdays after school, term time only, please email for exact timings

Our youngest two classes serve as a fun and imaginative introduction to the world of ballet. Lessons will include props, engaging music and storytelling to ensure children are inspired to enjoy the gift of movement.

Children will develop confidence, coordination, and self awareness amongst many other things. There will be a chance for self expression each week as children will be encouraged to improvise to a different piece of inspiring music.

Our next two classes follow the RAD Primary and Grade 1 syllabus. Children learn the beginnings of ballet technique with a focus on coordination, performance and musicality. Props and imaginitive themes will be used to inspire, as children are encouraged to develop their dance skills at their own pace.

Alongisde learning classical ballet technique, this class will encourage creative movement and self expression through seasonal storytelling and improvisation.

Our mixed age tap class is for children aged 3+. This is an exciting way for children to develop rhythm and coordination in a different dance genre.

We have an annual winter performance in our hall for family and friends to come and watch our dancers perform in costume! There is also a Watching Week at the end of the Summer term for parents to see what their children have been working on. An optional RAD Ballet Exam session takes place at the end of the Summer term for dancers aged 5+.

If you are interested in classes for a different age group, please get in touch to express your interest. If there is enough demand, we can offer parent and baby classes (from age 18 months) as well as classes for older children.
