Mini Movers for children 18 months to 3 years.

Mini Movers

Multi-sensory, developed and targeted movement activities will promote social, emotional, and physical awareness skills. The classes are focused around the children, however, parents will also have some special time to learn their childs' unique view of the world and share experiences with other parents.

Creative movement is a way for all children, boys and girls, to explore their sense of self-being and the environment. Parents and children will experience opportunities to move, play, and connect with each other and other families.

The use of movement games, music, rhythm, balls, and other props will enhance the natural curiosity and creativity of your child.We honestly believe that all forms of dance and creative movement can be beneficial to children and they should be introduced to exercise as early as possible.
Introducing your child to dance is one of the best gifts you can give them.

"A child sings before it speaks, dances almost before it walks, music is with us from the beginning".....

All genres of dance are scheduled at least once a year with either of these professional organisations

Group Lessons

Our Group 'Adult Ballroom and Latin' classes are held in a friendly, and as you would expect, a sociable atmosphere. Group lessons are a great way to meet other people. You can come as a group, a couple, or on your own. With the continuing success of the BBC 'Strictly Come Dancing' programme, the appetite for learning Ballroom and Latin has grown enormously.

BALLROOM & LATIN
Our Ballroom & Latin Classes are more popular now than ever

Private Lessons

Private lessons are all about you. They are bookable in advance and are suitable for all ages and grades. We personalise each lesson based on your individual needs, desires and goals and adjust our teaching to your expectations and ability while keeping it fun, easy and enjoyable. Private lessons are the most effective method to achieve your performance goals.

One to one tuition enables much quicker progress. If you are taking an exam, a private lesson is helpful to achieve a higher grade, or it can help you catch up if you are unable to make any of our group classes. Private lessons are available in 45 minute or 1 hour sessions and competitive training is available for both adults and children.

BENEFITS OF PRIVATE LESSONS

* Personalised attention:
* Custom lesson choreography
* Lessons at your convenience
* Quickest way to learn and progress

First Dance

When you have chosen your special first dance song, Tara will choreograph a simple yet stylish routine with which you will feel comfortable yet will have your guests looking on in amazement !
If the wedding is some time away then you might like to consider joining one of our ballroom and Latin dance courses for beginners. This is a great way to find out which dance you prefer and it also gives you time to learn how to dance together.

There couldn't be a better way to set the scene for your wedding party and the rest of your life together as a couple, than to step out confidently for your 'First Dance'.

"We are back from Honeymoon and had a fantastic wedding! It was amazing. The first dance went so well, we loved doing it! I had to manoeuvre Jim into position at one point but no-one noticed! The lift at the end was especially appreciated! But, thank you so much, I'm so glad we did it, it was well worth it. I'd love to join one of your classes.
Thanks again and lots of love" xx Annabel

When you have sent your wedding invitations and you have booked the venue, the cars, a DJ or band, you then might start to think about your 'First Dance'. However, don't leave it too late. The earlier you start to learn, the more relaxed you will be on your wedding day when you take those first few steps in front of your friends and relations.
The most popular dance and easiest to learn is the Social Foxtrot, but there are many other dances such as the Waltz, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Cha-Cha-Cha, Tango or Jive which can make up your 'First Dance,'

You can even sit in our lounge, have a quiet coffee and watch the fun on the in house monitors.
