Tap dancing is a lively and rhythmic form of dance where performers wear special shoes with metal plates on the heels and toes. As they move, they strike the floor to create percussive sounds, turning their feet into musical instruments. Tap dance blends movement and music, emphasizing timing, rhythm, and coordination.

While tap is a fantastic dance genre on its own—full of energy, creativity, and musicality—it’s also a great complement to other styles. We highly recommend students consider learning tap alongside ballet and jazz. Together, these styles build a strong, versatile foundation in dance, enhancing overall technique, performance skills, and rhythm.

With a warm and encouraging teaching style, Serena is passionate about helping every student grow as a confident, expressive performer.

Our RSL Musical Theatre Song & Dance Exam Classes are a fun, supportive way for students to build performance skills while working towards a recognised qualification. We’ll be focusing on musical theatre repertoire with a strong emphasis on storytelling, characterisation, and ensemble work. Students can also gain UCAS points from Grade 6 upwards, which is a brilliant bonus for students when we reach those grades. It is not compulsory for students to take exams, they’ll still be working to the expected standard, giving them a great head start as they progress through the grades.

Our 45 minute body conditioning class for ages 8-13 years focus's on flexibility and strength. This class is designed to give students a solid foundation in functional strength and conditioning which is fabulous for pursuing dance but also builds the core concepts of movement required in any sport and provides the building blocks for for a healthy body in the future. The class is focused on working the students muscles and body, but we know the value this can also have on their mental wellbeing - a healthy body and healthy mind work hand in hand together and it is never too early to learn habits that will help with both. That said the class uses a fun and engaging syllabus that mean all the student needs to do is worry about having fun on getting their perfect split and fabulous back bends (We'll take care of everything else).
