The needs of each individual child are our primary focus and we aim to not only teach children to dance but to instil lessons that will last a lifetime – self-confidence, self-discipline and the joy of developing a wonderful skill.

Our Classes

All of our children’s dance classes welcome boys and girls from the age of 2 years to train in various forms of dance. Our classes are taught by Miss Sam who is fully qualified, and training towards her Fellowship, the ISTD’s highest qualification.

Our dance academy offers the following lessons:

Ballet
Our ballet classes cover not only Classical Ballet, but also incorporate national dances from various European countries, offering the dancer an engaging and well-rounded education. We follow the world-renowned Royal Academy Of Dancing (RAD) syllabus, providing the opportunity to study different styles of music, costume and history.

Modern and Jazz
Our dance academy’s Modern and Jazz dance classes are offered through the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD). This international dance society is very progressive and is constantly evolving to remain current, allowing our students to learn a variety of skills and techniques to broaden their dance repertoire.

Tap
At Slaneyside School of Dancing, we offer tap lessons that incorporate a combination of Rhythm Tap, as well as the exciting new ISTD syllabus.

As part of the dance academy experience, regular examinations and performances will be on offer to students, as well as other enrichment activities such as theatre/cinema trips and workshops. Easter and Summer Schools will also form part of our dance academy calendar.

Reviews

‘Sam is a wonderful teacher with such dedication to all the young dancers and an amazing passion for dance. My daughter absolutely adores her and has excelled so much in ballet and modern dance with Miss Sam. She goes above and beyond to help the kids with extra lessons ECT for exams and shows. An amazing talented professional teacher that builds the children’s confidence in dance, lots of fun and smiles and puts her heart and soul in her work. Jolianna says a big thank you to the best teacher ever.’
