Offered Services
We teach children to dance, aged 3 upwards (to Adult Level), in the Genres of Classical Ballet (Imperial Ballet syllabus), Modern Theatre Dance and Tap. We also teach intermittently ISTD National Dance. Children may take ISTD Grade and Vocational Graded
examinations in the above genres. Professional level classes are also run (currently up to Advanced 1 Level). Pupils can take part in theatrical performances as well as working for examinations, and, of course, having lots of fun while learning and exercising!
Grade 6 examinations and above produce UCAS points for those applying for universities, as well as being recognised by all major professional dance colleges and schools. There are also 'drop-in' Adult Tap classes, meant for those dancing for fun, although
we do study the ISTD Adult Tap Test syllabi for those who wish to take the tests. Any age can start Tap - we currently have a lady aged 80 in our class, (besides much younger participants)! There is a complete Beginners and an Improvers level (suitable for
those who may have tapped as children, or who aren't complete beginners). We try to make classes as accessible as possible; adult classes are payable weekly, and children pay weekly for the first term, after which there is a termly invoice, with large discounts
on more than one class per week (for children who take Ballet, Modern and Tap). Additional classes after three per week for promising children are free, and a family of three or more children only have to pay for the first two. Like any activity, however,
participants get more out of their time with us if they engage by regular attendance and wearing the correct uniform (which can often be purchased second-hand if cost is an issue). Miss Joan (the Principal) trained at Laine Theatre Arts before a dancing and
teaching career and is qualified to Licentiate ISTD status and is a Distance Learning Tutor for some teacher-training modules of the ISTD DDI and DDE.
