When you're choosing a class for younger children, you probably think it isn't as important as if you're enrolling someone with vocational aspieations, or who's older and interested in taking exams. πΆπ΅π
WRONG! The younger the child, the more important it is that they're taught by someone with anatomical and technical knowledge so they not only fulfill their potential, but also learn without risk of acute injury, damage to muscles and joints over time, or damage to physical developmemt. Of course, with ANY age, the best way to aid all these concepts is with fun and interesting and imaginative motivation! πΆπ΅π

So exciting to see our little snowflake grown up! (We last saw her in 2012 on another Cornish holiday we had) πβ
We'd love you to try a few classes to see if our dance family is a good fit for you ... book a free trial of our Ballet, Tap and Modern Theatre classes in Clapham for children from 3 years at https://bit.ly/AcaciaTrial β€οΈπΆπ΅

... returned from Dance Teachers' Conference yesterday and this quote was framed in the hotel!
A journey has a destination and ending, which can lead to huge stresses, disappointment and exhaustion by the time you get there, leaving you wondering why you bothered in the first place!
An adventure lets the journey continue for life, and leads to all kinds of bumps, swerves, new friends, new experiences and new learning on the road ...
This OLD photo of a dance group I performed with in Turkey, shows us on the stage at Ephesus. We all had our respective dreams once, of joining The Royal Ballet, becoming the next pop star, Ginger Rogers or Meryl Streep (yes, it was that long ago), but we had the best time ever in Turkey and my hope is that your dance journey will be like that (BONUS: with dance and ANYTHING, if you're enjoying the ride, you'll get there quicker if you are about the technical brilliance)!
We want our little ones and pre-schoolers to see the adventure in every class, using their imagination, gaining social skills and new friends and living in the moment (and adults too of course; you HAVE to be mindful while dancing, so it is a break from your 'phone)
