All tap and modern students are also welcome to attend the next class above their own (from Grade 3 upwards) for strength, technique, and to help push through the grades a little quicker where possible.

Body conditioning is available to students studying at Grade 4 ballet or modern and above. In this class we cover stretching, strengthening, and advanced steps and routines of differing styles. We have put on a Flash Mob in the centre of town, and currently working on an Uptown Funk number, and later will work on a spoken-word dance (as creepy as possible!)

 

Special Offers

The month of March is bring a friend to dance month! Once your child’s friend has signed up for class/es, you will both receive 5% off your term fees for as long as both students dance at the Academy.

If your child already does modern or ballet, they can now add tap at a discounted price of £79 per term until they reach Grade 3! Please contact me for the best class for your child.

 

Easter Workshop

This Easter I am excited to announce that I will be running a workshop from 7th – 11th April for ages 4-7, 8-11 and 12+. Please see the board at the studio for how to sign up!

Ages 4-7 9.00am – 12.00pm

Ages 8-11 12.30pm – 3.30pm

Ages 12+ 2.00pm – 5.30pm

This will involve singing, dancing, and a small script to learn and block, culminating in a performance on Saturday 11th April (depending on the number of children involved, we may do two performances ).

Any ex-students home for the holidays and missing dancing are welcome to attend as well!
