Classes
It is my belief that whilst structure and discipline are important, there is the greatest need for children to be able to express themselves creatively without restriction, have confidence in making their own decisions and most of all have fun! This is where First dance comes in, whether you are a beginner or advanced level student; we offer a unique opportunity for students to use dance in a way that inspires them, shows their personality and gives them true confidence in their ability.
