Pre-School Ballet, Jazz and Tap

This class is aimed at children aged 2-4 and we learn lots of fun steps including marches, skipping, galloping while developing basic ballet steps. We use lots of different music for the children to encourage different dancing styles and rhythm. We always end our classes on a high with a fun jazz dance that always leaves the children with a big smile to go home.

Reception Ballet, Jazz and Tap

When the children get to reception age, we increase their learning as they start to prepare for a ballet exam. We keep their lessons fun, as we introduce props, tiaras, butterfly wings and princess wands and add themes to lessons. For tap and jazz, from the basic steps they learn in preschool we teach them with more detail starting to put them into routines, preparing them for when they move up to Y1 and they take a jazz and tap exam.
