Why choose our Modern Theatre & Tap dance class for kids in Cardiff?
01
02
Music they'll love and so will you
Joyful Learning
We use age-appropriate music meaning you'll love the songs your children are dancing to as much as they do. We use music and songs that inspire the children's imagination, tricking Mr Crocodile and finding Aladdin's lamp. As well as using firm favorites the children will be so excited to come back to class to practice.
Fostering a love for dance through playful teaching and learning, we believe in making the learning experience enjoyable, allowing children to discover the beauty of movement with enthusiasm and delight.
03
Performance and Examination opportunities
The children are invited to dance in our annual dance show which typically happens in February. This is held in a theatre and each class performs 4 routines in front of a supportive audience of family and friends.
The children are also encouraged to take their ISTD exams in Tap and Modern Theatre from Primary to Advanced 2.
04
Fairness and Inclusivity
Every child is empowered to be in control of their own dance journey and therefore taking part in shows and exams, although encouraged, is always optional. We implement line switching in shows ensuring every student has an opportunity to shine.
05
Short shows with low cost to participate
Instead of having you buy new dance costumes each year, costing you between £20-£60 a costume, we charge a fixed show fee of £38. This covers the hire of 4 costumes, plus any props/accessories, and any chaperone costs. Ticket prices are also kept low. We split the school into separate shows allowing your child as much stage time as possible while keeping the shows short. Even with your child dancing in 4 separate routines, the shows last no more than an hour and a half.
