Grown-ups too
Two ways in, and both of them are Saturday morning.
No auditions, no experience needed and nothing to keep up with. Both classes run Saturdays 8.15am–9am at The ELDA studio — come to whichever one sounds more like you.
Never danced.
Adult Fitness is forty-five minutes, Saturdays 8.15am–9am, at The ELDA studio. Nobody in that room started knowing what they were doing.

Same class, same time. Adult blocks are £20 for a four-week block, so it is four weeks you are deciding about, not a whole term.

Miss Emma
The person teaching your child, in her own words.
“After dancing for most of her life growing up, competing in comps, appearing on TV shows and taking many dance exams! She then went onto complete a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Dance gaining Distinctions all round. Then furthering her education in dance and musical theatre by completing a Level 4 in dance and musical theatre at Dancebox Studios and Theatre Works. The love and passion for dance has now led her onto opening her own dance academy in Cornwall… Whilst also booking professional dance jobs in the performing arts industry in her own spare time. With a Level 2 safeguarding certificate, fully enhanced DBS and first aid trained.”
