First steps in dance, with or without their grown-up. 

 

A lively introduction to ballet and jazz basics, for children aged from 2 ½ to 5 years, based on the Time For Dancing curriculum, with changing themes, props and fun music.  Parents are welcome to come in and sit in the studio for this 30-minute weekly class, or dancers can come in independently – we always have a mix, and it can change from week to week!

A group of four young girls in white t-shirts and black shorts, possibly dance or athletic attire, standing in a line against a plain background, looking towards the camera. The girl on the far right is leaning forward with a slight smile. The girl on the far left has her hands on her hips and is looking directly at the camera. The two girls in the middle are standing upright, one with darker skin and the other with lighter hair, both looking towards the camera.

Watch them have fun, make friends, develop grace, posture & much more!
