Little ones (ages 3–5)

Creative Dance & Play is our first class for 3 to 5 year olds. Through music, movement and imagination, children build coordination and confidence, and have a lot of fun along the way. It runs termly, in line with Sheffield school terms.

Cost: £5.25, invoiced termly How to start: Get in touch to find out about places.

Children and teens: graded IDTA classes

Our graded classes follow the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) syllabus in ballet, pointe, modern jazz, tap and acrobatics for dance. Students work steadily through the grades, and when we’re confident they’re ready, they can take IDTA exams. Exams are optional, but we encourage them: they’re a great way to mark progress and celebrate what students have achieved.

Classes run in line with Sheffield school terms and are invoiced each [half term / term]. New starters can join at any point in the year, and the first 3 weeks are pay-as-you-go, so your child can try the class before you commit to a full term.

Cost: £6.50 for a 60-minute class, £5.25 for 45 minutes, £3.75 for 30 minutes. How to start: Contact us and we’ll help you find the right class and level for your child.

She has settled in quickly and has made friends in her grade that she talks to on the phone during the week. She is loving the style of dance and the way they get to do some choreography themselves, and it seems to be much more fast paced at Hype, instead of the same thing, dragging on for months on end, and always being Disney!
