Our Ethos for Dance

Our ethos is to bring dance to children in a warm, friendly but disciplined environment. All children are treated equally, taking into consideration individual capabilities and personalities.

We offer a range of genres for students of all ages!

For the Under 5’s we have fun classes using feathers, pom poms and musical instruments. Once, children reach the age of 4, there is more open to them they can do Tap, Acro and Freestyle as well as continuing with Ballet if they so choose.

Dance classes are held in two locations: Hayes and Heston. Hayes has ballet classes for children from the age of 4 to approximately 16 years. RAD and ISTD . Heston also offers ballet but the age range extends to young adults and includes ISTD Tap, Freestyle, Modern, Contemporary and IDTA Acro. Please see the relevant sub-heading for a more detailed timetable.

We enter children for exams on a regular basis. We also put on a show every two years, our most recent show was in April 2025. More information is available under the SHOWS sub-heading. We run choreography competitions, encouraging children’s creativity and rewarding their achievements.

Come along, under no obligation, and meet us, watch a class, let your child join in, and see what you think. Examination sessions are held regularly, giving the children, from the age of 5, the opportunity to progress in a formal way.

Examinations are optional. A child will never knowingly be entered for an examination that a teacher considers them not ready for. Discussions would take place between the teacher and parents to ascertain the best course of action for the children.

If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact Sara Ridley, who will be happy to answer any questions. Once you are content with all that you see and read on this website, go to the Registration heading where you will find instructions on how to access our hub.
