The Alexandra School Of Dancing has childrens classes for ballet, tap and modern age 4yrs to teens Saturdays and Tuesdays. This is a traditional school with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere but very structured studying the ISTD exam for those who are interested. The I.S.T.D. is a government recognised body of which credits are gained for those who take exams and are useful for the future. Fun classes are available for the very young. Ballet is the key to all dance forms and is studied at the school especially for those who want to take exams. Many children come into the school very shy and nervous, so it is great to see their confidence grow week by week, most of the children make friends, and even the parents make friends.
Teenage beginners are welcome as there are many young people who would love to try ballet and often think that they are too old, But ballet can be started in your
teens and many have passed there exams through working hard.
The school also holds charity events and once a year we have a well known dance photographer comes to the school and takes the most amazing pictures at a good price all in full costume.
Exams taken in all theatre faculties and classes for tots now on Saturday mornings. see baby and toddler listing
We have workshops and charity performances and other events that the children enjoy. Tuesday is the class for those who wish to study classical ballet further, it captures the imagination of children way beyond a usual structured class, and there is some wonderful classical music. It is very creative and appeals to those who want something slightly more challenging at am fairly young age.
We offer a two week trial paid through the website.
