Let's Dance Combo
Let’s Dance Combos are the perfect introduction to two dynamic dance genres – Classical Ballet and Tap – all while keeping the focus on fun!
Each class is designed to develop your child’s coordination, musicality, and balance through engaging, age-appropriate activities set to upbeat music. Our passionate and nurturing teachers create a supportive environment where children can grow in confidence, express themselves, and build a strong foundation in dance.
Our Combo program allows students to join with peers of their school-age group, with no prior experience required. This ensures a smooth and inclusive entry into dance, regardless of background.
In each session, students enjoy dedicated time to explore both styles:
Combo One - Reception: Saturday 9:00 - 10:00am
30 minutes of Ballet and 15 minutes of Tap.
Combo Two and Three - Year One and Two: Saturday 9:30 - 10:30am
30 minutes each of Ballet and Tap, with gradual introduction of syllabus work. Participation in exams is optional at this level, allowing students to progress at their own pace while celebrating their achievements along the way.
ISTD Modern
🌟 New Class Alert: Primary Modern (Ages 5+) 🌟
📅 Wednesdays | 👟 With Miss Katie | 🕓 4:30 - 5:00pm
We’re excited to offer Primary Modern – a lively and imaginative introduction to Modern Theatre Dance, perfect for children around the age of five!
This fun-filled class follows the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabus – one of the world’s leading dance examination boards. The Primary Modern level is specially designed to spark creativity and build confidence through storytelling, playful movement, and music.
Children will start to explore the foundations of Modern Dance, including posture, stance, body control, and rhythm. They'll also begin to develop performance skills, musicality, and self-expression – all in a supportive and joyful environment.
