We run classes for adults (17+) and for children and teens (3–16), plus 5-week beginner courses for adults. See the adult timetable, the kids & teens timetable and our beginner courses.

If you’ve never danced before, start with a beginner course, or our Level 1 Commercial class, which welcomes complete beginners. Level 1 is for people who know the basics, Level 2 builds technique, artistry and musicality, and Level 3 is fast-paced for experienced dancers. Open Level classes are mixed-level and suit anyone who knows the basics. Still not sure? Get in touch and we’ll help you choose.

You’ll start with a warm-up, then work on technique, choreography or whatever your teacher has planned, and finish with a cool-down and stretch. Drop-in classes don’t follow a set syllabus, so each one stands on its own.

Yes, please book and pay online before you come, using the Book now button at the top of any page. If a class is full and you haven’t booked, you may not be able to join in.

Yes. Drop-in classes are pay as you go, so you can book a single class and give it a try.

Adult classes are for ages 17+, and our dancers range from 17 to people in their 50s and 60s. If you’re 16 and would like to join, please get in touch first.

Yes. Students pay £6.50 for adult drop-in classes (a discount of £1). Find out how to get your NUS discount code.

You can change a class booking up to 3 hours before it starts, through our customer portal. If you haven’t used it before, click “Reset Password” and enter the email address you booked with. We don’t offer refunds on classes, except in exceptional circumstances (see our terms and conditions), but we’re happy for you to reschedule.

Our 5-week courses in ballet, contemporary and tap are for complete beginners and run on a rolling cycle. The full course is £32.50, which saves £1 a class compared with drop-ins. Finish the course and your first Level 1 class is free.

Yes. Week 1 is open as a one-off taster for £7.50. If you love it, book the remaining 4 weeks for £26. Courses can’t be joined after week 1, so everyone builds the basics together.

Get in touch and we’ll work out the best option for you.

Please get in touch first, so we can suggest the right class and grade and talk through any details. The first 3 weeks are pay as you go, so your child can try the class before you commit. After that, classes are invoiced each half term, in line with Sheffield school terms.

No, International Dance Teachers’ Association (IDTA) exams are optional. We only enter students when they’re ready, but we encourage them: they mark progress and give a real sense of achievement.

For little ones (3–5), you’re welcome to stay in the room until your child settles in. For older children, we ask parents not to stay, as it can unsettle the class, but you’re welcome to watch through the door window for a couple of minutes. You can wait in our waiting area or come back at pick-up time.

There’s no dress code for adult and drop-in classes: leggings, joggers or shorts and a vest or T-shirt are perfect. For your feet:

• Ballet: ballet shoes or bare feet
• Contemporary: bare feet
• Modern Jazz: jazz shoes or bare feet
• Commercial and Street: clean trainers
• Tap: tap shoes, or hard-soled shoes you can dance in (not trainers)

Graded IDTA classes have a uniform; we’ll email you the details when you book a place. Bring a water bottle: you can refill it here.

Press the buzzer to the left of the black doors and tell us what you’re here for, then push the door when it buzzes. Head up the stairs to the waiting area on the left. If you need to change, there’s a changing space just through the waiting area. Please bring clean footwear for the studio, especially in autumn and winter. Your teacher or a member of staff will come and collect you, and you can take your bags into the studio, where there are hooks for coats.

Lost property goes in the box in reception, and valuables like phones, watches and jewellery are kept safe in our locked office. Get in touch and we’ll check for you.

For personal practice or rehearsal, book one of our three studios online, from 30 minutes up to a full day. Prices are per studio, however many people use it. For commercial hire (running your own classes, shoots, productions or events), longer hires, or times you can’t see online, get in touch for a quote. See our studio hire page to choose the right studio.

You can change a studio booking up to 24 hours before it starts, through our customer portal. We don’t offer refunds on studio bookings (see our terms and conditions).
