What age can my son / daughter begin classes?
We offer 30 min ‘music and movement’ themed playdance classes, for parents and children to enjoy together from as young as 2 years. Progression into independent classes is then very much a matter of each child as an individual and can be arranged whenever you and Helene both feel it’s appropriate.

Not at all, it’s never too late! There is no need to have had any previous experience. We offer beginners classes in a range of subjects to teens, adults, even grandparents who decide to take up dance post childhood.
