Our classes are structured, fun, and beneficial for our student's all-round development. While teaching dance skills and techniques through our curriculum we also focus on building confidence and self-expression, fostering social skills and teamwork in a group setting, and developing discipline and work ethic.
Fostering a love for dance through playful teaching and learning, we believe in making the learning experience enjoyable, allowing children to discover the beauty of movement with enthusiasm and delight.
The children are invited to dance in our annual dance show which typically happens in February. This is held in a theatre and each class performs 4 routines in front of a supportive audience of family and friends.
The children are also encouraged to take their ISTD exams in Imperial Classical Ballet from Primary to Advanced 2.
Every child is empowered to be in control of their own dance journey and therefore taking part in shows and exams, although encouraged, is always optional. We implement line switching in shows ensuring every student has an opportunity to shine.
We charge a fixed show fee of £38. This covers the hire of 4 costumes, plus any props/accessories, and chaperone costs. Ticket prices are also kept low. We split the school into separate shows allowing your child as much stage time as possible while keeping the shows short. Even with your child dancing in 4 separate routines, the shows last no more than an hour and a half.
