| Y-Dance
These exciting classes let your child explore the wonderful world of dance.
Our preschool classes introduce the young ones to dance and rhythmical movement. Fun songs and props add to their enjoyment. Children are encouraged to experiment with movement in small classes that aid individual development.
As your child progresses to our older classes they will experience more of the dance styles of the youth e.g. Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz and Modern Dance. Classes cover basic dance and movement skills culminating in a choreographed dance. |

Our dance teachers are passionate about music and movement. They are committed to ensuring your child has a fun time at our classes and that they have some progression at their own pace. These are not high pressured classes.
Quite often there is an end of year display so the children get the opportunity to perform to family and friends. This is always a fabulous event.
