We are always happy to provide a free taster lesson to new pupils, so they can try out our class environment and style of teaching. It also helps us place your child in the best class for their age and ability.
A free session on Zoom can also be arranged for new pupils if they are unable to attend their free trial in person. In this way it is still possible for our teachers to assess which class and day would be the most suitable for them to join.
During the Covid pandemic, we swiftly moved all classes from face-to-face to remote via Zoom. Although this was a novelty for the teaching staff and the pupils, the new set up allowed us to carry on with practicing and the teaching of the curriculum, keeping in touch and having fun together regularly. We hope this will no longer be necessary, but in case it does, we are ready and trained for it.
We strive to provide the safest environment to both pupils and teachers at all times. The team takes particular care in following the latest Government guidelines, whatever they are.

*The ages for the various grades are for guidance only. During a free taster lesson pupils will be placed in the correct class depending on their ability and experience. Pointe Work begins at 11 year old or later, depending on strength and correct placement, posture and core strength, and it is taught in their lesson. The more experienced dancers will have separate time.
All children’s modern and tap dance lessons take place on Monday in ‘The Keys’ building and on Tuesday in the Lower Hall at Southborough Primary School
