My daughter attends Future Dance Theatre School on Sunday mornings. It’s 1.5 hours which is a perfect time! Not too short and not too long! 🤩 she loves going and loves her instructors! We LOVE ❤️ that it is pay as you go. Really helpful to manage when you don’t have a lot of money to spend on extra activities for your kids! She has also participated in an Art Club there as well which she has enjoyed when she has gone. Just another affordable class for her to do that keeps her love and interest in creating and being artistic alive!! Highly recommend any of the classes, activities or parties at — Kerry Schuler

I highly recommend Wendy and the team at future dance. They did an amazing job with my nieces 6th birthday party, with all the children having an amazing time and a couple signing up to her classes afterwards. I would highly recommend for parties and classes and anything else!— Lauren Bunclark
Girls had a wonderful time at my daughters party, they loved Wendy and the fluffy unicorns that they made and took home were brilliant quality. Xx— claire buss
Common building blocks include the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Once learned, they let you follow many beginner dances.
A short, repeating dance such as the Electric Slide is usually the easiest first step, since the sequence repeats throughout.
Yes, most of the styles taught in children's dance classes are solo, so no partner is needed to take part.
Comfortable clothing that allows free movement and soft, flat shoes suit most first classes. The school can advise on any preferred kit for children.
This school is noted for its pay-as-you-go pricing, but current rates are best confirmed with them directly. It is a flexible way to try classes without a long commitment.
For children, a friendly performance-based class introduces several styles and builds confidence, which is an ideal start. The teacher can suggest the right group by age and interest.
