Our Dance Programme
Our dance classes are suitable for children aged 3 years and above. We are committed to providing high-quality training in a positive, nurturing, and inspiring environment.
Students have the opportunity to develop strong technique, musicality, creativity, and confidence through our carefully structured classes. Throughout the year, we also offer performance opportunities, including dance events, shows, and competitions.
Dance Classes
Ballet (RAD)
Our Ballet classes follow the internationally recognised Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, providing children with a strong and safe foundation in classical technique. Through carefully structured lessons, young dancers develop posture, coordination, musicality, and discipline in a nurturing and encouraging environment.
Students who wish to progress further have the opportunity to prepare for official RAD examinations. To support well-rounded development, we also offer flexibility & strengthening classes as well as pointe work for older students, according to age and readiness.
Our goal is to build confident, technically strong dancers who develop both grace and a lifelong love for ballet.
Contemporary Jazz
Our Contemporary Jazz classes combine solid jazz technique training with the expressive freedom of contemporary movement. Each lesson includes structured jazz exercises to build strength, coordination, and performance quality, followed by dynamic and expressive choreography.
Dancers develop musicality, flexibility, body awareness, and confidence as they explore both technical precision and artistic expression.
Students who wish to advance further may also have the opportunity to prepare for jazz examinations, supporting their technical growth and motivation.
Aerial Dance
Our Aerial Dance classes introduce children to the magical world of movement in the air!
Using aerial equipment in a safe and supervised setting, students build strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence while learning beautiful aerial shapes and sequences.
Classes are designed to be both exciting and developmentally appropriate, helping children overcome fears, trust their bodies, and experience the joy of flying.
Competition Training (for selected students)
Our Competition Training program is designed for dedicated dancers who demonstrate strong technique, commitment, and passion for performance. Selected students receive focused coaching to refine their skills, improve stage presence, and build confidence in a supportive yet disciplined environment.
Training includes advanced technique work, choreography refinement, performance quality, and teamwork development. Dancers are guided step by step to prepare for dance competitions in a healthy and motivating way.
*Participation is by teacher selection or audition.

Our goal is for every child to experience the joy of performing.
