Have a Question?

Upper Junior Ballet

8-10 years
Children in this class begin to fine tune their Ballet technique. They learn the correct French terminology and expand their knowledge. We still follow our school ethos that learning should be fun and have an engaging, encouraging and enthusiastic approach to teaching to motivate the children to reach their potential.

Upper Junior Tap

8-10 years
Tap is often a favourite style of dance for many of our children attending multiple classes. Children in this class begin to fine tune their Tap technique. They learn a lot of new Tap steps and vocabulary requiring more skill and precision. We still follow our school ethos that learning should be fun and have an engaging, encouraging and enthusiastic approach to teaching to motivate the children to reach their potential.

Junior Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre for 5-10 year olds
Our musical Theatre class is a fun and animated class where children learn songs from some of the best Musicals. Each week children work on expressing their storytelling skills through singing, dancing and acting. The children work together for the majority of the time, but for those extra confident children, there are also opportunities for solos. This class is a fantastic way for children to express their creative side in a safe and encouraging environment. You will see their confidence grow week on week!

Reviews

Freya just loves her Ballet classes at Thorrington Dance Academy so much!

I hear all about it all week until the day and she literally dives into her with excitement!

It is such a great way for all ages to keep fit and healthy and to learn as well!
My daughter absolutely loves going to classes. The teaching is done in such a fun way that the children don’t even realise that they are learning.

It’s so important for children to be active, and dancing is the perfect way to do this. Highly recommended.
Our daughter started two weeks ago. She really enjoys it. Thorrington Dance Academy is the best!

Sam is an outstanding teacher, the classes are fun and brilliantly structured.

I love the smiles on their faces.
