children's classes:

Children may join ages 4-5, depending on their abilities. There are three levels, and when children advance past the third level they go into adult's classes. Children are encouraged to perform. We feel it is important to start dancing at an early age because it helps internalise the rhythms, develops co-ordination and self-esteem. It is also a great opportunity for children to make new friends.

More details are available on the Children's Dance and Drama School page.
