Classes
We offer combined Ballet and Tap classes for children from 3 years old with the option to add
Modern/Contemporary Dance from 4 years old. We also offer a Boys only class for 3-5 years.
At Fairweather Dance School children form incredible friendships, build valuable confidence,
and learn skills and discipline whist having lots of fun.
We follow The National Association of Teachers of Dance Syllabi and offer graded examinations
through to professional teaching qualifications in all subjects alongside Medal Tests, Rainbow Awards and Performance Awards. Whilst exams are in no way compulsory pupils do feel a strong sense of achievement in their success. These exams give a strong foundation to our pupils wishing to audition for dance/performing arts colleges at 18. UCAS points are awarded for higher grades aiding in University admission. We are very proud to currently hold a 100% success rate in exams with all pupils achieving Merit or Distinction grades.
Our teachers are fully qualified, DBS checked, insured and first aid trained to ensure a professional service to all our pupils.

Ballet- Ballet is the core of all dance genres. Ballet classes offer numerous benefits for children, encompassing physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Physically- Ballet enhances coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility. Mentally, it improves memory, focus, and spatial awareness. Emotionally, Ballet builds confidence, self-esteem, and provides a creative outlet. Furthermore, it cultivates self discipline, teamwork skills, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Boys class- Dancing isnt just for girls. We have a boys only Ballet and Tap class
available for 3-5 year olds. Boys are also welcome to join any of our other classes.
Our teachers are trained to to teach both boys and girls to enjoy and excel at all dance styles. If your child is active in a sport like football, athletics, rugby or gymnastics, dancing can help them excel there too.
This class is held on Saturdays and aims to build strength, flexibility, endurance and confidence in a relaxed setting.
Tap-Tap dancers are unique as they perform to music AND make their own music using tap shoes as percussive instruments. The casrefully constructed classes help children build proficiency and confidence through their achievements. The combination of these new skillsallied with their relationship to rythm and music serve to enrich and enhance childrens/learning experience in dance, at home and in school.
Modern/Contemporary- Modern Theatre dance is a highly
energetic rhythmic dance style often seen on the stages of musical productions and is known for its theatrical qualities, developing expression, strength and flexibility. Contemporary is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance styles including lyrical, jazz and ballet. It is very expressive and uses emotions and storytelling.
