Finding the Perfect Dance Style: A Guide for You and Your Child – Part 1

Choosing a dance class for your child can feel overwhelming, especially if you're new to the world of dance. With so many different styles available, how do you know which one is the best fit? At Dance Dynamic, we offer a range of children’s classes that help develop confidence, creativity, technique, fitness and coordination - while having lots of fun!

Let’s take a closer look at the dance styles we offer for children and what makes each one special:

Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of many dance styles and is perfect for building strength, flexibility, and coordination. It teaches discipline, grace, and poise, making it a fantastic choice for children of all ages. Our ballet classes focus on technique in a fun and engaging way, allowing young dancers to develop confidence and body awareness.

Best for: Children who love graceful movement and want to build strong technical skills like jumps, turns, and beautiful arm lines - perfect for developing poise and precision from the ground up.

Tap

If your child loves making noise and rhythm, tap is a great option! Tap dancing improves musicality, coordination, and timing. It's a fantastic way to develop quick footwork and a strong sense of rhythm while having lots of fun with percussive sounds.

Best for: Children who love rhythm, music, and making a bit of noise! Tap dancing develops musicality, quick footwork, and precise timing - perfect for kids who enjoy creating sound through movement and having high-energy fun.

Modern

Modern dance is expressive, dynamic, and full of energy. It combines elements of ballet and jazz while allowing dancers to explore their own creativity. It’s a great way for children to build strength and versatility while learning a mix of fluid and sharp movements.

Best for: Children who enjoy upbeat, expressive dancing and want to explore a mix of styles - modern dance blends lyrical, musical theatre, jazz and pop, just like the performances they might see on TV.

Musical Theatre

For those who love to sing, act, and dance, musical theatre is a brilliant choice. This class brings together all three elements to create engaging performances full of personality and storytelling. Confidence, stage presence, and teamwork are all developed in this exciting class.

Best for: Children who love to perform and want to develop storytelling skills through dance - this style helps build confidence, expression and stage presence, all while having lots of fun.

Not Sure Which Style to Choose?

The best way to find out is to give it a try! Every child is different, and sometimes it takes a class or two to discover what they truly enjoy. That’s why we offer a two-week trial - so your child can explore different styles and find the perfect match in a friendly, welcoming environment.
