Pre-School Movement Class

Our pre-school classes are open to children 2.5 to 4 years of age and is a great foundation to begin an interest in dance. They are designed to put in place all of the key skills required to dance at a later age. 

Our classes are often based around songs that the children already know and feel comfortable with. This will help to develop their confidence and help them to feel secure. There are also many other skills that a child will gain from taking the Pre-school movement class:

• Building listening skills, and the ability to follow instructions.
• Enhancing their fitness and general movement skills such as balance and co-ordination.
• Self esteem and confidence building
• Spacial awareness
• Social skills

This is a a fun class, with no pressures involved. We require all children to be fully potty trained before participating in this class.

BALLET

The study of Ballet focuses on posture, balance, discipline, grace, self-confidence, stamina and flexibility. Knowledge of basic Ballet is extremely important for all other styles of dance and serves as the backbone of all dance training. We recommend that you take Ballet alongside any other dance style. In this class students will start to learn the disciplines and basics of Ballet. The class will be based around the IDTA Ballet syllabus and there will be options to do exams further down the line, though this will not be compulsory. IDTA exams are governement recognised exams, and will go towards UCAS points if a child decides to go to University.
