What it’s like
Dance classes for children aged 5 to 12, with junior sessions running up to 18, in a Derby city centre arts venue.
This is a dance class setup rather than a one-off show, so it suits a child who wants to stick with something week to week. Classes run for children aged 5 to 12, with a junior strand for the 11 to 18 age group.
Standard price is £19.50, but under 16s and students pay £10.25, which is the number most parents booking a class will actually be looking at. The centre keeps fairly long weekday hours, 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday, though Saturday is a short window, 9am to 1pm only, and it's shut on Sundays and bank holidays, so that's worth building into your week if you're after a regular slot.
It sits close to Derby Bus Station, about four minutes on foot, which makes it an easy one if you're not driving in. The train station is further out, over a mile away, so budget for a taxi or a half hour walk if you're arriving by rail.
