All little people love to dance. This is the very first stage of learning, and at an early age it is important that the class experience is relaxed, friendly and enjoyable. We offer adorable weekly dance sessions that will make your little one's very first dancing steps both and memorable and fun. We will explore music, expression and movement while introducing the basic foundation dance skills in preparation for the study of the primary syllabuses in Ballet, Modern Jazz and Tap.
Pupils will also develop their rhythm and timing and through the fun and enchanted weekly activities will grow in both confidence and strength.
And when I’m big enough
At the age of five you will be able to move into the Junior School of The Studio where your dance classes will divide into three main disciplines, Ballet, Modern Jazz and Tap. Having mastered the foundation movement skills and established your self-assurance, you will now be able to jump, skip, gallop, run on your toes, point and flex your feet and recognize the beat of your music. These are the basic foundation skills of dancing, and from this stage you will be ready to start the ISTD primary dance syllabuses which have been expertly created for the study of dancing.
Pupils with prior learning from our Wings and Wands classes will find progression through the Primary grade a lot easier as, true to the old tale of 'the earlier the better', motor skills (for dance) are absorbed far more successfully when the mind and body is at its most susceptible stage.
