✨ The perfect complement to their school routine ✨

Our Triple Dance class has been one of our most popular and most loved classes since we introduced the format more than five years ago 😍

Designed for Key Stage 1 children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, it gives young dancers a brilliant foundation across three core styles in one 90-minute class:

🩰 Ballet
👞 Tap
🎶 Jazz

It’s a lovely way to build confidence, coordination, musicality and technique, while giving children plenty of variety and keeping their weekly dance routine simple.

Three styles. One class. Lots of progress, and lots of fun 💛
