Six disciplines

Every dancer finds their thing here

From a first pre-school ballet class to festival stages, our six disciplines give every child a way in. Try one, mix a few, or work towards exams. It all starts with one free trial class.

Ballet

Grace, posture and musicality from the very first plié. The foundation of everything we teach, with structured ISTD-style progression.

From age 2.5

Tap

Rhythm you can hear. Tap builds timing, coordination and confidence, and it is always the loudest, happiest room in the building.

All ages

Modern

Expressive, energetic and current. Modern develops strength and performance skills that carry into every other style.

All ages

Acrobatics

Flexibility, balance and safely-taught tricks. Acro is where cartwheels become walkovers, one careful progression at a time.

All ages

Street Dance

High-energy choreography to the music they actually listen to. Street builds attitude, stamina and serious friendships.

All ages

Musical Theatre

Sing it, act it, dance it. Musical theatre brings the West End to Suffolk and turns shy children into show-stoppers.

Classes run in Felixstowe and Needham Market, so most families are only a short drive from a class.

Why families stay

A school that takes children's dance seriously

Antonia founded the school in Felixstowe in 2009, and hundreds of dancers have come through our doors in the years since. We are a fully qualified school, registered with the ISTD and ITDA faculties, and our dancers have taken to stages at dance festivals, competitions and West End performances.

  • Structured from day one. Clear class levels, a proper uniform and real progression, not just an hour of running about.
  • Safe hands. DBS-checked staff and clear class rules that put children's wellbeing first.
  • Performance in the blood. Annual shows with professional photography, plus festivals and competitions for those who want more.
  • Simple admin for parents. Online booking and payments through our ClassManager portal.
