Dance
Guildford Dance (2.5 – 18 yrs)
Guildford Dance offers Ballet classes for all ages from 2.5 years plus. You can find us in the main hall at Onslow Village Hall on Monday afternoons.
We follow the prestigious Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and students have the opportunity to take exams and perform at local events. Whatever your child’s aspirations or ability, dance is a positive and rewarding experience. The sheer joy of dance and performance is just as important as the syllabus work.
The first class is a free trial so why not come along and give it a go! Dance is one of the best ways to combine exercise with structured learning – and it’s fun too!
