DANCE FOR TOTS | OPEN

Sat 3 May - Sat 12 Jul  - 9.30AM - 10.30AM
£75 per term
1-4 years and adults...
Book

Introduce your little ones to the joy of dance in a creative, fun, and stimulating space. Guided by our dance artist, these structured sessions will explore and encourage movement between adults and their little one using scarves, balls, hoops, music, and books. Join in the fun with them and share the magic of exploring movement together.

To encourage and support healthy movement in Tots, these classes will:

  • Explore and build connections between children and their adults
  • Support early language development by building recognition of colours, numbers, and a variety of themes
  • Develop balance, coordination and confidence in children

This class is for children aged 1 to 4 years and their grown-ups.

The class will take place in a studio on the ground floor and there is space to store buggies and changing areas close by. DanceEast is a breastfeeding friendly venue.

 

Term dates: Saturday 3 May – Saturday 12 July 2025
Half term: There will be no class on Saturday 31 May 2025

Please note: if you wish to pay for the term in two half-termly instalments, please get in touch with our friendly Box Office team on 01473 295230.

 

Bursaries

Bursaries are now full for summer 2025 classes.

Bursaries are available to participants on a termly basis. Please remember you will need to re-apply each term if you would like to continue receiving the bursary. Bursaries are not guaranteed each term and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. To keep the bursary for the full term, participants must attend at least 7 out of 10 classes. If 3 or more classes are missed without prior notice, the bursary will be withdrawn.

Children and young people from low-income households may be eligible to access this class for free through the DanceEast Bursary Fund. Find out more about the DanceEast Bursary Fund and the necessary criteria here. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
