Classes for Children and Young People

Our groups for children and young people are weekly on Saturday mornings, at Priory Lane Community Centre PR1 0AR in Penwortham, where we have been teaching for 30 years. We run a number of classes for different age groups and levels covering a selection of Ballroom, Latin American, Disco/Streetdance/HipHop.

Starlites For children aged 4-6 Yrs from 9.30- 10.30 am. This group introduces the children to the main dance rhythms, moves and techniques from a range of dance styles to give them a good grounding for their dancing.

Preps, Primaries and Bronze groups For children aged 7-11 Yrs from 9.25 to 10.40. These groups cover Ballroom/Latin and Streetdance within the morning with qualified, experienced dedicated teachers. All of whom are insured and have DBS checks. 

Between 10.45am and 12.15pm we have mixed classes for those in the 7- 17yr age group. The children rotate round a carousel of 3 classes – ballroom, latin, and streetdance.

The cost for a 1-1.5 hr group class is £6 per week (and we offer a discount for block payment for 3 or more children from the same family). It's just 'pay as you go' - no membership charge. If children would like to come along and give it a try then we offer the first week as a free trial. We can also offer 1:1 tuition and small group boosters on request.

We also offer a Monday evening Streetdance/HipHop and Jazz/Stage Dance workshop for 8-17yrs, at the same venue, with the award-winning Ethan Castle, alongside our new 'Stage and Street' drama and performing arts sessions. The 'Act 1' (7-11yrs) and 'Act 2' (12-17yrs) drama sessions are an excellent way for young people to delevop skills in acting and performance alongside transferable skills in communication and teamwork whilst developing esteem and self confidence, all in a fun, enjoyable way.

We are a friendly club and although we teach to a high standard and are affiliated to the BATD, the emphasis is on the enjoyment of dance. We offer BATD medal tests twice a year and the children can take part in a number of displays, competitions and events if they wish.
