CLASSES
Until we can go back in to the Community Centres, all our classes are being held via Zoom.
Here at Miss Sophie's Dance Academy, we want to ensure that you and your child love dancing. We approach classes with an attitude of fun to make sure that dancing is accessible to all.
We work towards yearly exams with the IDTA for which we usually achieve very good results and we enjoy creating annual shows which we perform in local theatres.
As we expand as a school, we are frequently introducing new classes for our older students plus new styles across the age-ranges.
Our Tipp Toes classes are very popular. We teach these twice a week via Zoom for Under 3's and Over 3's.
We teach children from Reception right up to A-level students in styles from ballet to hip hop to musical theatre and everything in between.
We currently have adult ballet and tap classes on Tuesday evenings via Zoom. All are welcome!
TIMETABLE
Our timetable for the Autumn in currently under review.
Please note that age groups stated on our timetable are not binding. Entry into classes is also based on experience and ability.
PRE-SCHOOL
TIPP TOES (BALLET)
Tipp-Toes is an exciting pre-school Ballet class for children from 18 months to 4 years old.
Tipp-Toes encourages rhythm, co-ordination, balance, colours, numbers, jumping, hopping, skipping, galloping and much more.
Tipp-Toes is designed to encourage babies and young children to express themselves in a fun imaginative way. The 40 minute ballet class incorporates music, song and dance in an enjoyable and energetic manner with under 3’s in the Little Toes and over 3’s in the Mini Toes.
Little Toes (under 3's) is a Parent and Toddler class and Parents are encouraged to join in as much or as little as they want or that is required by your child.
Mini Toes (over 3's) is for your little one to take part on their own and parents are able to sit and watch.
All classes are structured using several props including instruments, flags, wands, scarves, ribbons, dollies and more. We use actions songs, nursery rhymes and television favourites making your little ones dance experience an unforgettable time.
A 3 Week Taster is £10 and this gives you and your child the opportunity to decide whether ballet classes are right for you both. Usually by the end of the trial you will know whether it is for your child or not. After the trial, classes are £5.00 each, but for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, the children are able to access two classes a week for this price. Classes run on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Miss Sophie.
