Our Classes.
From the very beginning, DanceCraft classes follow a pattern of work that evolves as the children grow.
We place children in suitable classes where they will feel happy and secure.
We do everything we can to fully prepare our children for their regular performances for family and friends, encouraging discussion and role-playing in class. This ensures that every performance is a happy, magical experience for all.
We believe dance should be 'Exercise for the body, heart and mind'.

Curtain up!
Pre-School-Infant Section
Team One - 10.00 am
Approximate ages.
(Rising 3's - 5yrs)
A super class for young children to start out on their magical dance journey. Once settled into class, children will soon be confident enough to dance without their parents and will be able to concentrate and enjoy their dance class alongside their friends.
*Parents are always welcome to join us, sit in and watch, or even work with their little dancer whilst they find their feet!
Team Two - 10.30 am
(Rising 6 +)
By now the children will be attending 'Big School' or will have been taking dance class for a little while. This class will cover different dance styles, and the children will also be introduced to Tap Dancing - Lots of fun!
Centre Stage
Junior - Senior Section
Team Three - 11.10 am
(Rising 8 +) MStar Juniors
A mixed genre dance & performance class for our juniors.
The children's confidence will be growing, and they will be encouraged to work together on their performance and presentation skills.
This class will suit children already attending Junior School upward.
This is a super class for girls that love to dance and perform.
Team Four - 11.50 am
(Junior into Senior) StarDance
Here, the girls are slightly older, have been training for longer or are more confident in their work.
As the dancers get more experienced, we occasionally offer students that show an interest in helping the younger pupils, the opportunity to learn how to help in class by attending earlier and dancing with their chosen team. We love that they do this and give them all the encouragement and extra tuition they may need. Their first step before actually training and becoming class assistants when they are older.
MCompany
Team Five - 12.30 p.m.
This is a Dance Class for students that have worked and performed with us for many years. Some of which will now be taking part in auditions, shows, performances and training outside of DanceCraft. We are always extremely proud of them and support them every step of the way.
A class for Dancers that just love to dance!
For senior school pupils and young adults that wish to keep up their dance and performance training, become teaching assistants with the opportunity to work with younger dancers as well as interact with parents, even help with Dance Shows. Over time, these girls will develop their own choreography and teaching skills. They can also learn how to arrange and put on performances by helping front stage, backstage, side stage and of course on stage. Not forgetting, it is great to just enjoy being with dancer friends, catching up whilst dancing one's cares away after a busy week's schedule at school.
We are also extremely proud to have had many girls join us whilst working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
