"I like pointing my toes and dressing like a princess!"
Ages 2-5 years
Young children are introduced to music and moving to music in a fun way. We use different types of music and different props to stimulate creativity and instill a love of dancing. We use lots of imagination develop the large motor skills of running, walking, turning, jumping and skipping as well as starting to develop fine motor skills of the hands, legs and feet.
Pre-school and Pre-Primary (Reception and Yr 1) classes include tap and ballet.
Pre-school dance: Saturday 9.00-9.45am or 9.45-10.30am (£7.50 per class)
Pre-school acro: Saturday 9.45-10.15am (£6.50 per class)

Reception & Year 1 acro: Saturday 10.15-10.45am (£6.50)
Ages 6-10 years
Once children are old enough to start school, their classes become slightly more structured and we begin to work towards the examination specifications of the Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.) and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (I.S.T.D). The emphasis is still firmly on fostering artistry, developing motor skills and laying the foundations of good dance technique whilst having fun.
Children can take examinations when they are ready. This is always at the discretion of the teacher, who will only enter children for examinations when they are completely ready.
