Yes, styles such as ballet, jazz, tap and lyrical are all danced individually within a class, so no partner is required.
Comfortable, close-fitting clothing you can stretch in, plus the correct soft shoes for the style, works best. The school will confirm exact requirements.
Fees vary by class, length and how you pay. Contact the school directly for current pricing.
Ballet builds strong technique, while jazz and tap are lively and quick to enjoy. The best start depends on what appeals to the child.
Adults often begin with ballet or tap, though this school focuses on children; contact them or a specialist adult provider to find the right fit.
Gentle dance can support general fitness, but anyone with heart failure should seek medical advice first and tell the teacher of any condition.
