Our Dance Classes

Ballet

Ages: 5+
Ballet is a beautiful art form, allowing us to be expressive, fluid and free.

While taking a Ballet class you will learn the basic Ballet moves from the very beginning and then build on your technique.

Ballet increases your flexibility, strength, speed and balance as well as giving you finesse, endurance and mental focus.
Ballet

Modern

Ages: 5+
Modern dance is a dance style that allows a dancer's own interpretation and has a more relaxed feel than Ballet.

We also cover Jazz in this lesson and this style is fun and energetic with quick moves, footwork, leaps and turns. The Modern dance style is more down to the ground, using the body weight to enhance movement.

In most theatre shows, music videos, music and commercials, you will see Modern and Jazz dance. This is a fun and energetic dance style providing a great way of keeping fit too!

Frequently Asked Questions

When can my 2 ½ year old start ballet?

All our Baby ballet children have to be fully potty trained, dry and out of nappies before attending a free taster class.

Do I have to pay for a taster session?

No. Every student at Dance Sensation is entitled to a free taster class before enrolling into the school.

Can we watch the first free taster class?

Yes, providing there are no covid restrictions. What we currently do is leave the main door open so you can stay and watch from outside to see how your child settles into class.

Is there a waiting room?

Due to covid we are currently unable to have parents waiting in the waiting area. Once we are able to operate in a covid free environment, then we will be able to open up our waiting rooms again in the near future.

It's not ideal but for the past year parents have been waiting in cars or outside while their child’s class takes place.

For Baby ballet/ Primary ballet girls can wear a dress/ skirt and soft pumps or trainers. Boys can wear shorts/ t-shirt and trainer’s.

Yes, there is a non-refundable joining fee of £15 per child when enrolling into the school. This is for children’s classes only.

Can we watch our child?

Twice a year in July and December, I invite parents to watch the last lesson of term. Parents are then able to see what each student has learnt in class and see the progress their child has made. For older students this is once a year in July.

Yes we have our yearly dance shows and have in the past taken part in summer fetes and performances.
