Calling all budding performers! Dance, sing, act and discover the magic of musical theatre in our Triple Threat classes.

Triple Threat Musical Theatre brings together all three essential performance skills, dance, singing and drama, in one exciting weekly class. Perfect for children who love music, stories, characters and performing, whether they're already bursting with confidence or are just beginning to find their voice.

In Dance, children develop coordination, musicality and performance skills while learning fun choreography inspired by the world of musicals and theatre.

In Singing, we explore songs from much-loved musicals while developing confidence, expression, musicality and healthy vocal skills.

In Drama, children use games, improvisation, characters and storytelling to develop their imagination, communication and acting skills.

Bringing all three disciplines together helps children become confident, expressive and versatile young performers. But Triple Threat is about much more than putting on a show. Children learn to work as a team, communicate, use their imagination, take creative risks and grow in confidence.

Our warm and encouraging approach means there is space for every personality. Confident performers can challenge themselves while quieter children are gently encouraged to find their voice and discover what they can do.

Throughout the year, students also have opportunities to work towards performances and share what they've been learning.

Tumble, balance, stretch, dance and discover in our playful Acrodance class for little movers!

Tumble & Twirl is a fun and creative introduction to acrobatics and dance, specially designed for young children. Through imaginative activities, music, movement and exciting skill work, children begin developing the foundations they need to become strong, confident and capable little movers.

Classes introduce age-appropriate acrobatic skills including balances, rolls, jumps, flexibility, strength and coordination, alongside dance and creative movement. Skills are carefully broken down into achievable steps so children can experience that wonderful feeling of mastering something new.

We use imaginative themes, games and obstacle-style activities to keep young children engaged while developing important physical skills, body awareness, listening and focus.

Just as importantly, Tumble & Twirl is about building confidence and resilience. We encourage children to have a go, celebrate their progress and discover that things which feel tricky at first can become possible with practice.

Our classes are warm, encouraging and inclusive, with children supported to progress at their own pace. No previous dance, gymnastics or acrobatics experience is needed.

Dance, tumble, stretch and achieve in our exciting Acro & Modern Combo!

This energetic combination class gives young dancers the chance to develop their skills across both modern dance and acrobatics each week, making it perfect for children who love to move, dance and learn exciting new tricks.

In Acro, students work on strength, flexibility, balance and coordination while safely developing skills such as rolls, balances, bridges, cartwheels and other acrobatic movements. Skills are carefully broken down and progressed step by step, helping children build strong foundations and experience the confidence that comes from achieving something they have worked hard for.

In Modern, dancers explore energetic movement, musicality, rhythm, coordination and performance while developing age-appropriate dance technique. Classes combine structured training with plenty of personality and enjoyment, encouraging children to become confident and expressive dancers.

We believe progress comes from practice, perseverance and being willing to have a go. Our encouraging approach celebrates effort as well as achievement, helping children develop resilience and confidence alongside their physical skills.

As students progress, they can continue developing their skills through our Acrobatic Arts acro and ISTD modern training, with opportunities for examinations and performances as they grow.

Twirl, leap, tap and grow in our Ballet & Tap Combo for young dancers!

Our Minis 2 Ballet & Tap Combo gives children the opportunity to develop their skills across two core dance styles every week, combining the technique and artistry of ballet with the rhythm and energy of tap.

In Ballet, dancers develop posture, coordination, balance, flexibility, strength and musicality while building their ballet vocabulary and understanding of technique. Classes are structured and progressive while remaining creative, encouraging and enjoyable.

In Tap, children discover the excitement of making music with their feet! They develop rhythm, timing, coordination and listening skills while learning tap steps and combinations that become increasingly challenging as their confidence grows.

We believe great dance training should develop the whole child. Our warm and encouraging approach celebrates effort and progress, helping dancers learn that mistakes are part of learning and that exciting things can happen when they keep practising and challenging themselves.

As students progress, they can work towards recognised RAD ballet and ISTD tap examinations, alongside opportunities to perform and take part in other exciting dance experiences.

Welcome to Story Time Ballet, a magical first introduction to dance for toddlers and their grown-ups!

Designed especially for little dancers aged 18 months to 3 years, our fun and imaginative classes use stories, music, movement and play to introduce the foundations of ballet in an age-appropriate and engaging way.

Each week, children and their grown-ups dance together as we explore exciting themes, meet characters, use colourful props and bring stories to life through movement. Along the way, your little one will be developing coordination, balance, musicality, listening skills, confidence and creativity, all while having lots of fun!

Grown-ups are an important part of the class too! Toddlers learn so much by watching and copying the people they trust, so we ask grown-ups to join in fully with the dancing, actions and activities alongside their little dancer. When they see you having a go, they're much more likely to understand, participate and have a go themselves. No dance experience required, just a willingness to get involved and have fun together!

Our classes are warm, welcoming and inclusive, and there is no expectation for toddlers to get everything "right". We know that little ones learn in different ways and at different speeds, so children are encouraged to join in, explore and build confidence at their own pace.

Story Time Ballet is also a lovely opportunity to enjoy dedicated one-to-one time together, meet other local families and create some very special early dance memories.
