Tiny Dance

With a huge range of classes and a goal to inspire small steps and big dreams in every student, your child will feel included and supported here at Wellington Dance.  If you'd like help finding the perfect class, just contact our friendly team.

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 to the studio for this 30-minute weekly class (and join in if necessary!), or dancers can come in independently – we always have a mix, and it can change from week to week!
