Twinkle Toes - Pre-school Dance for Fun

Twinkle Toes gives our 3 to 5
year olds a happy introduction to dance in
a caring and fun filled environment
- Each child’s natural response to music is gently guided to explore and discover the love of music and movement that is in us all
- Children are individuals. All children are encouraged toward their potential at their own pace
- By means of stories, games, nursery rhymes, movement and mime to music, classes are designed to encourage and foster co-ordination, musicality, rhythm, self-discipline, the ability to happily interact with others, confidence, a sense of achievement, and above all, the joy and love of dance
- Children thus learn to express themselves through dance
- Twinkle Toes aims to provide the best possible grounding for progress to the Grades, our next level of dance training
