1 class a week to choose from. Try any of them for 3 weeks for £20.
Our dance styles

Tap
Rhythm you can hear. Brilliant for timing, coordination and fun.

A strong, athletic style taught from Junior 2 through to Senior, on Saturdays and Tuesday evenings.
Contemporary
Fluid, grounded movement that lets dancers tell a story.
Classes from Mini through to Senior, encouraging dancers to explore movement and express themselves.

Two levels, Acro 1 and Acro 2, building strength, flexibility and tricks step by step on crash mats.
Performance and Competition Teams
For dancers who catch the performing bug. Our Performance Team rehearses on Tuesdays, and Junior, Inter and Senior Competition Teams train each week for festivals and conventions.
At their very first competition, Explosion Dance in Doncaster, our Minis won 1st place, Juniors and Inters 2nd, and Seniors 3rd. Our CYD Team performs at the Can You Dance Super Convention on 18 October 2026.

Questions about classes
How young can my child start?
Our Baby Ballet & Tap class on Saturday mornings welcomes children from age 2. Mini classes start at 4.
How does the £20 trial work?
Pick any class and come for three weeks in a row for £20 in total. The three sessions need to be the same class type, in consecutive weeks. Book online through Pebble.
My child has never danced before. Is that OK?
Absolutely. Most of our dancers started as complete beginners. Classes are grouped by age and ability, and our teachers are brilliant at helping shy children settle.
Is Jazzy J's right for a child with additional needs?
Yes. We're an inclusive school, and children with additional needs dance in our regular classes alongside everyone else. Get in touch before your trial to tell us a little about your child, and we'll help them settle in.
Not sure which class to choose?
Get in touch and we'll point you to the right one. Tell us your child's age and any experience and we'll suggest a class or two to try.
Do they have to take exams?
No, exams are optional. Dancers who want them can work towards exams across four recognised syllabi (ISTD, RAD, IDTA and the Royal Ballet School Affiliate programme), with a pathway tailored to them.
Are boys welcome?
Of course. Boys dance with us in every style, from baby ballet to our competition teams.
Do you have classes for adults?
Yes. On Monday evenings we run Adult Beginner Tap, Adult Tap and Adult Musical Theatre. No experience needed for the beginner class.
Your dancer's first class could be this week.
Try any class for three weeks for £20. No experience needed.
