Norwich School of Dance
WHERE
Norwich
What it’s like
Ballet, tap, modern, acro and street classes working towards ISTD exams, plus toddler dance sessions.
Classes cover the usual ballet, tap and modern routes through to ISTD exams, alongside contemporary and street dance taught as free work rather than graded syllabus. If your child's more into flips than pirouettes, there's acro and tumbling too, done on foam roll out mats and an air track rather than a bare hall floor, which matters more than it sounds once someone's attempting a handspring.
There's a toddler dance class listed for the younger end, so this isn't only for kids who can already point their toes. For older or more experienced dancers, the school asks that you get in touch before signing up for anything grade 4 and above, or if you're transferring from another school, so they can slot you into the right level rather than guessing from an online form.
Performance opportunities come up too, including stage shows, which is the bit most kids end up talking about long after the term's classes are forgotten. If you're not sure your child will take to it, they offer free trials, though not for every class, and private sessions are available on request if you want dedicated time working towards an exam or just want the confidence built up faster.
Plan your visit
Can we try a class before committing?
Yes, email them to book a free trial, though trials are not available in all classes.
My child is moving up from grade 4, what do we do?
Contact the school directly before booking so they can place your child in the right class rather than the standard beginner route.
Do you offer one-to-one lessons?
Private sessions are available on enquiry, useful for exam prep, building confidence, or just extra technique work.
Are there classes for very young children?
There's a toddler dance class listed alongside the main ballet, tap and modern programme.
