Both of my children attend Expressions, taking part in ballet, tap, modern, streetdance, acro and musical theatre. They both absolutely love the classes and enjoy having the opportunity to learn new skills, take exams and perform on stage. They both actually miss it if it is shut for the holidays!!! They say the teachers are friendly, the atmosphere in the classes is really friendly and fun, and they have both made some good friends by attending the school. As a parent I enjoy watching them develop and grow into more confident and happy individuals, watching them better themselves whilst al— Heather Ward

The easiest dances use short, repeating sequences with plenty of simple steps and claps. The school can point beginners towards a suitable starter routine.
Yes, many styles taught here, including street dance, modern and line dancing, are danced solo or in a group. You do not need to bring a partner.
Comfortable, close-fitting clothes you can move freely in are ideal, along with soft shoes or the footwear the style requires. The school will let you know if a particular class needs anything specific.
Fees vary with the style, session length and whether you pay per class or by term. Contact the school for its current rates.
That depends on what appeals to you, though styles with clear, repeatable steps such as modern or tap are common starting points for younger dancers. The staff can suggest the best fit after a chat.
