Disco Freestyle: This class consists of lots of fun routines to your favourite pop music. We structure the classes depending on the age and ability of the children so all students have an enjoyable time. For our younger students we concentrate on the basics of dance while having fun learning different steps and routines. For our older students the pace increases with faster music and more complex choreography. We work on flexibility, stamina and harder techniques of dance. We cater for all abilities from beginner up to intermediate standard so all students feel the benefit of our classes.

Street Dance: This style of dance has become extremely popular over the last few years and with more of it being shown on TV and in the media. We dance to all the latest Hip Hop and Street Dance tracks and you will learn different styles of street dance to different types of music We run street dance classes for beginners where we start with the basics of street dance, learning the fundamental steps and then moving on to learning routines. For our intermediate Street Classes we teach new and exciting steps which we use in routines which tend to be much more complex in choreography and a faster paced class. For all our street classes we adjust the class to suit to age and ability of the students we are teaching so all students have a good grounding of street dance while at the same time having fun!

Beginner: Our Beginner classes are suitable for those children who have never danced before or who have very little dance training in the lessons we teach. Your child might have experience in ballet or tap for example but would suit starting in one of our beginner classes to begin with. Our beginner classes are structured to learning the basics of dance and simple yet interesting routines which everyone can dance and enjoy. The basis of these classes are to have fun and enjoy yourselves yet in a fun environment!

Improver/Intermediate: For these classes we ask that you have a good grounding on the dance styles before attending these classes. By either having previous dance experience or starting in one of our beginner classes first and then moving into our intermediate sessions. These classes are faster paced and have more complex choreographing. We ask that you have a minimum of 1 years dance experience to join these classes.

Rules/Regulations: Inspire Dance School classes are on a pay weekly basis. Some of our classes are currently full and we have a waiting list for these. If you would like your child to be put on the waiting list then please contact us directly :info@inspiredance.co.uk. We ask that because we run pay weekly that if your child is absent for 3 weeks consecutively, their name will be removed from our registers unless you have informed us of their absence. This is so we can accommodate children on the waiting list if you no longer want your space.

Show: Inspire Dance School run an annual show. This is a fantastic opportunity for all children to take part in a performance in front of friends and family. We offer the chance to be in the show to ALL students as there is no audition process or picking out of children. We include every child for the show and its a great chance for them to show what they have been learning in classes. Each year we ask for a contribution towards the hire of show outfits. This ensures all children have costumes and in most cases we can have them all looking the same. The show is usually held in April/May time and is open to all parents and family who want to come and watch.

Medal Exam: We hold a medal examination twice a year where the children can demonstrate their skills in front of an external examiner to receive certificates and awards. They are a great way for the children to gain confidence in their dancing and work towards their medals. They move up a grade each time they have completed an exam and we hold a presentation day for the children to receive their awards. We hold medal exams in the summer and winter of each year.
