DANCE MENTORS
|
Our passionate and caring faculty put your children's needs first when it comes to dance class. Our staff are qualified professionals, who love dance and its benefits for childhood development.
Dance provides a platform from which children build foundations of confidence, imaginative development, social and spatial awareness and a healthy understanding of teacher/student communications. |
Our classes are capped to ensure a comfortable teacher:student ratio is maintained and all students have access to support in our environment.
We have an open door policy for complete transparency however, we encourage parents of our JUST ME & FUTURE STARS programs to utilise our waiting room during lessons so that your little ones have absolute focus on their teacher and activities. At the end of each term we have an official parent viewing day when you are welcome to observe your little dancer during class. |
