Liverpool
What it’s like
Street, ballet, jazz, acrobatics, drama and musical theatre classes for kids from toddler age right up to eighteen.
Six different disciplines sit under one roof here: street and commercial dance, acrobatics, drama, ballet, jazz and musical theatre. A toddler starting out isn't doing the same session as a teenager working on musical theatre, obviously, but having that many strands means a child can try one style, hate it, and switch to another without changing schools.
The acrobatics classes are probably the one to save for a birthday treat if your child's already restless in ballet shoes. Musical theatre and drama sit closer together than you'd expect, and if your kid's got a flair for performing rather than pure technique, that combination is worth asking about specifically rather than defaulting to dance.
With the age range stretching from two-year-olds to eighteen-year-olds, classes are clearly grouped by age and ability rather than one-size-fits-all, though the specifics of which class suits which age aren't something we can guess at here. It's a dance school built for the long haul rather than a one-off session, so it suits a family thinking in terms of years rather than a single afternoon out.

Plan your visit
What age can my child start?
From two years old, going up to eighteen, so there's a route in whether you've got a toddler or a teenager.
What styles do they teach?
Street and commercial dance, acrobatics, drama, ballet, jazz and musical theatre. Plenty of scope to try a few before settling on a favourite.
Can older kids still join, or is it mostly for young children?
The age range goes right up to eighteen, so teenagers are catered for alongside the younger classes.
Is this just dance, or other performing arts too?
Drama and musical theatre are taught alongside the dance styles, so it's broader than a straight dance school.
