An introduction to ballet in a fun, friendly class that uses imagery and weekly adventures to keep the little ones smiling. Stimulating music helps our youngest dancers learn basic technique, poise and coordination. Once they turn five, they move up to Pre-Primary.

Ages 5+Rhythm, sound and joyful footwork.
Children and adults love the sound tap shoes make from the very first lesson. Tap is relaxed, rewarding and full of musicality. Famous tappers such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers helped define the style, and it still lights up stages and screens today.

Ages 5+Energetic jazz-influenced movement with personality.
Modern dance gives more room for interpretation than ballet and has a freer feel. Lessons also cover jazz, with quick footwork, leaps and turns. It is a grounded, energetic style seen in theatre, music videos and commercials, and a brilliant way to keep fit.
