Why Choose DanceWest?
At DanceWest, we believe in nurturing every child's potential through the power of dance. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where each student can thrive. Our classes are designed to promote physical development, boost confidence, and foster a lifelong love for movement.
Benefits of Our Programme:
Learning through Movement and Expression: At DanceWest, our classes are centred around learning through movement and expression. We believe that dance provides a platform for children to express themselves physically and emotionally, nurturing their creativity and self-expression.
Development of Social, Physical, and Emotional Skills: Through participation in our dance classes, children develop a range of skills essential for their holistic growth. They enhance their social skills by engaging with peers, refine physical coordination through movement, and learn to express themselves emotionally through dance.
Theme-Inspired Choreography: In our classes, we introduce theme-inspired choreography to spark creativity and engagement. Each dance routine explores different themes or narratives, allowing children to delve into the creative process while mastering new dance techniques.
Building Connections and Collaboration: At DanceWest, we prioritise building connections and fostering collaboration among our young dancers. We encourage students to work together, support one another, and communicate effectively as they learn and perform dance routines as a team.
Expert Instructor Guidance: Our instructors provide expert guidance and support to each child while also empowering them to explore their own creativity and problem-solving skills. We cultivate a supportive learning environment where children feel encouraged to take risks and confidently express themselves through dance.

So, here’s the thing …
We’re a small charity on a mission to make dance a catalyst for positive change in our community. But nothing comes for free (ok some of our classes and activities do). We rely on the generous donations of our supporters.
