About this Event
Our fun, creative and interactive dance classes provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to explore movement and express themselves!
Mini Movers 9:30-10:15am (2-3 years) gives you the chance to discover the joy of movement alongside your little one. You will roll, skip, and hop through creative exercises and stories designed to inspire children to use their imagination and get moving! Teacher, Robyn encourages both you and your child to express yourself and have fun dancing as a team!
Wiggle On 9:30 -10:15am (3-4 years) is a stepping stone between our Mini-Movers and Leaps & Strides classes. Children and their adults dance together – a chance for you and your child to explore movement in a friendly, intimate setting – all while encouraging independent exploration to prepare your child to join a class without an adult. Join Olly as you jump, balance, roll and spin through storytelling and adventures to make movement fun!
Leaps & Strides 10:30-11:15am (4-5 years) will encourage your little ones to express themselves freely through movement. Children attend this class without an adult, and Robyn and Olly create a safe and nurturing environment for them to explore dance and movement independently for the first time! Your child will learn new moves and dynamics, and even learn short movement phrases – all designed to make dance and movement fun!
Creative Contemporary 11:30- 12:15 (6-9 years) builds on the foundations of Leaps & Strides (4-5 years). Your child will get the chance to experience more challenging movements, and build strength and flexibility by learning more complex movement phrases. Robyn and Olly push your child’s imagination even further through story-telling and improvisation. This is a great class for your child to build their skills and confidence in a fun, nurturing environment.
Pricing The cost per 12 week term is £96 + a small service fee. This works out at £8 per class.
