Whatever style of dance your child enjoys, or wants to try, we’re sure to have something for them. There’s loads to choose from – ballet, tap, modern or acrobatic – each of which offers something different and will challenge your child in its own way. All the classes have their own unique, rewarding and well-defined progression pathway, with classes available for children as young as two years old, depending on which style is chosen.
Pre-school ballet is a great introduction for pre-schoolers and their parents to start the journey into the world of ballet and dance. These classes will involve the introduction of natural movements with the use of props, and work on the development of co-ordination, motor skills, musicality, listening and social skills.
