About Tiptoes Dance

Tiptoes have recently moved to our new premises in Lane End. The Studio is fully equipped with mirrors, ballet barres and sprung dance floor. We have changing facilities in the waiting room, which makes it easier for parents to wait.

The Studio is based near local amenities with ample free parking. We also have a back door entrance, which makes it easy for drop off and collection.


We currently have over 250 part time pupils in our 4 branches from tots to adults, beginners to advanced, all taking dance classes in Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz, Street Jazz, Drama & Singing. We currently have 3 qualified teachers, 2 trainee teachers and 4 student teachers and we are all qualified with the National Association Teachers of Dance.

Exams


We feel that it is important for all children and adults to have something to work towards. We have 2 exam sessions a year and these encourage children to continue to work hard, achieve and build confidence. Children can also take Rainbow Awards which are purely for confidence building as the teacher is allowed to go into the exam with them. All exams are Diplomas awarded by the National Association Teachers of Dance.



Shows

All of our pupils perform in our yearly show. This allows their indivuality to shine through, build confidence by wearing a costume and make up and perform on a professional stage in front of family and friends. This is a fun time for all participants. Our adult show is performed every other year.




We hope that you enjoy your time at Tiptoes Dance and if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact anyone of us.
