Offering a fun and friendly dance environment where children can develop their confidence at their own pace as well as exams in Ballet, tap and Acrobatic Arts once students reach school age.
The school started with just 3 classes a week but quickly grew into a full time dance school, and they are now watching the children who joined at 18 months old turn into independent and confident young dancers who love what they do.
Stepping Stones believe that all children, no matter how shy, should have the opportunity to dance, so our aim is to give all our children an introduction to the wonderful world of dance and graduate with a strong foundation and passion for the art.
