How do we fulfill our mission statement?

• Caring teachers who get on well with children, making them feel safe and comfortable especially if they are not used to leaving their parents.
• Suitably trained teachers that are continuously developed to provide top quality dance training.
• Suitable areas for the children to dance on a hard floor with heating and lighting, ensuring all health and safety aspects are achieved.
• Allowing all children to attend no matter what colour, race or disability. Equal opportunities are very important to us.
  

Positive rewards

We do encourage good behaviour by awarding smiley certificates, for being well turned out, performing an exercise well and behaving well. These smiley certificates in turn lead to the bronze, silver and gold awards. The dancers enjoy collecting them and are so proud of their achievements.
