Classes

The styles we offer

Classical Ballet
This is the most disciplined and most important dance form. Children can start Classical Ballet classes at Dancesteps from the age of 2. At this age the pupils learn through a sense of fun and exciting but controlled environment. It is a proven fact that children who do Ballet also excel at academic studies. Classical Ballet enables a child to improve their posture, musicality and give them confidence and discipline that will stay with them as they grow and benefit them later in life.

Tap
Tap is a great dance form to study to keep the brain motivated - brain training. Is is quite a difficult art form but worth while studying. Tap is all about rhythm and intricate footwork. A great skill is achieved by children who study this dance form.

Modern
Modern compliments the Classical Ballet technique. It is a good form of dance to study for children who also wish to participate in Jazz, Hip Hop or Disco classes. Modern is great for developing strength, coordination and rhythm. It is a structured class but extremely enjoyable and the children are also free to express themselves through their movements.
