Grace Dance

So... we are now getting ready to come back to classes! Lots of uniform fittings booked, taster classes booked, staff meetings and CPD booked, tweaking some class plans, various stationery ordered and printed (ooh, we love it!)... There's so much to do and I honestly LOVE getting ready for September 😃 Bring on the routine and familiar faces!

When I hear parents concerned about how well prepared for life their child might be, I want to shout from the rooftops - ‘get them into dance classes’!

Dance class offers an amazing antidote to activities on screens, which require low effort and give quick dopamine hits.

In contrast, dance requires discipline and hard work to achieve goals over time. There are no quick rewards in dance - it demands repetition and focus. This is fantastic for training your child to know the value of high effort and a sense of personal achievement over a longer period of time.

Through dance, children can work on their ‘frustration tolerance’ and persevere to gain longer term rewards. They also learn the importance of being punctual and prepared, listening to their body, and working as a group.

All of this sets them up for functioning well across life as they grow up.

So many of our parents say that this is why they love dance as an extra curricular activity for their child, because they see these 'whole life' benefits in their child’s development.

If you'd like to know what classes might suit your child, you can DM or Whatsapp us to start a chat 🙂

Unsure what to expect from a dance class for your child?
This is what one Yr1 parent recently said about us:
'My daughter started at Grace Dance a year ago. She adores her classes. Not only has she progressed in her ballet skills, she’s also made great friends and performed on stage to a huge audience of friends and family. The classes are very well structured and Miss Fiona, her teacher, regularly informs parents of their child’s successes and areas they need to work on! My daughter can’t wait to start her classes again in September!'
If you would like this experience for your child, get in touch now - we are booking tasters for the limited remaining spaces in class 😃

Oh wow, we have loooots of taster bookings already for September - just a few Preschool spaces remaining, plus a few Saturday morning Tap spaces for children in Reception/Yr1/Yr2.

What a lovely review we have received from a Reception parent:

'A truly wonderful and warm dance school that has helped my five-year-old grow in confidence, movement, and expression. The nurturing Miss Fiona creates such a joyful yet structured environment for the kids, and he absolutely loves every minute of his classes with her.'

We know that choosing an after school activity in Reception can feel like a big deal - they are definitely tired, but you want them to have some sort of physical enrichment outside of school... We get it! This is why we keep our Reception classes as fun as possible, gradually building in more structure and progression as they are ready for it.

We have just a limited number of Reception spaces for September, so enquire now to avoid disappointment: Comment ENQUIRE or DM us
