Toddlers/Tots
We offer Toddler Ballet and a Preschool stage dance class to kick off our little ones’ dance journey and prepare them for our main school.
Kids/Teens
Our main school’s lively stage dance classes are bursting with enthusiastic dancers from Primary school age to late teens.
Adults
Dancing’s not just for kids. From twenty year olds to youthful seventy-somethings; let’s get you moving!

Toddler Class
Introduce your little star to the magical world of dance and movement to music.
This class is suitable for little ones from around 12 months (walking is beneficial but parents are welcome to carry their little ones if they’re not yet confident on their feet) to approx. 3 years.
Saturdays 8:45-9:15am, St Julie’s
Preschool Class
Children of age 3 (or whenever they’re getting more comfortable joining in a class without as much help from a parent) to approx. 4.5 will enjoy an introduction to stage styles of dance (modern, tap, ballet).
This class is packed with dance but also fun activities, props, and games. And parents can still stay and watch.
Saturdays 9:15-9:45am, St Julie’s
Main School (children & teens)
Children and teens dance classes run on Saturdays at St Julie’s Church Hall.
Classes are divided into age groups and children learn stage styles of dance – modern, tap and ballet. We often practise additional styles such as street, contemporary and acro, plus pointe work for oldest dancers.

Broadway Beat Fitness
With the popularity of short bursts of high intensity exercise on the increase, we launched our Broadway Beat class. Short of time? Don’t worry – we’ll guide you through a fast-paced set of upbeat routines to get you moving and burning calories in just 30 mins.
In this class we don’t worry too much about perfect placement. Bring your own style and if you love a good boogie, you’ll probably be having so much fun (and concentrating on remembering your steps) you won’t even realise you’re exercising!
Wednesdays 6:45 – 7:30PM @ St Julie’s Church Hall
Ballet/Barre Fitness
Ever wonder how ballerinas get so toned? It’s because they do ballet everyday! In this class we use some of the principles of ballet to create repetitive sequences that tone, loosen, stretch and improve flexibility and balance.
It’s a low-medium impact workout that you can really feel working. We do moves in the centre, on the barre, on the floor and often finish the class with a quick balletic dance routine. Buns and leotards are definitely not mandatory (unless of course you want to wear them!).
Wednesdays 7:30 – 8:15PM @ St Julie’s Church Hall
Tap
Admittedly this is more tapping than toning! But we often get a sweat on and have that lovely little burn the next day that lets you know you’ve done some exercise. Remembering all those steps and rhythms is certainly a workout for the brain too!
This is definitely a class for those who don’t take themselves too seriously. We have a good giggle and tap to lots of different styles of music. There’s normally also an annual opportunity to get on stage (but that’s not compulsory!).
Wednesdays 8:15 – 9:00 PM @ St Julie’s Church Hall
