First Steps & Carly Elizabeth School of Dance

First Steps & Carly Elizabeth School of Dance Children are accepted from the age of 2½ - 3 years
At this age ballet is taught through imaginative stories and rhymes.

It is proven that children who take ballet at this age benefit greatly showing improved co-ordination,
deportment, self awareness and confidence. When ready, pupils are given the option of tap and modern dance. These subjects allow children to learn a new range of steps and also improve a freer style of dance expression
Pupils are entered for examinations during the year to mark their achievements. The pupils also have the opportunity to take part in dance festivals and competitions at their teachers discretion. Every other year the school puts on a show in which every pupil is invited to take part. The productions are great fun for all, helping to develop confidence and self esteem
