What it’s like
Ballet, tap, modern, ballroom and Latin classes across the ages, starting with Ballet Bunnies for babies and toddlers.
This is a proper dance school rather than a one-off session, so classes run through the styles you'd expect: ballet, modern, tap, ballroom and Latin. The youngest ones start with Ballet Bunnies, a baby and toddler syllabus built for wobbly first steps rather than technique, and it's a gentle way in before a child is old enough for a structured class.
Older children can move into after-school dance clubs, which suits the ones who want dance as a regular fixture rather than a term-time trial. There's also teacher training on offer for anyone thinking about dance as more than a hobby, which is an unusual thing to find alongside children's classes.
If you're planning a wedding, there are dance lessons for that too, which is a nice sideline if you're dreading the first dance more than the vows. Between the baby classes and the adult wedding lessons, the age range here stretches wider than most local dance schools bother with.
