What we do: In our Dancing Monkeys class, we utilize a variety of resources to inspire children’s creativity, including props, learning cards, dice, letter blocks, adventure plans, and music.

To celebrate their progress, all children in our dance classes are rewarded with a sticker, which they can proudly collect on their achievement chart.

What we do: Our Street Dance classes for children provide an energetic and engaging environment where they can learn to dance to their favorite music. Students will master various steps and techniques, which they will then combine into choreographed routines. They will have the opportunity to explore different Street Dance styles, including “commercial,” “hip-hop,” “breaking,” and “locking,” while being encouraged to express their own unique style and ideas. These classes offer excellent exercise and are instrumental in boosting confidence and self-esteem.

To recognize their efforts, each child is rewarded with a sticker for their achievement chart. Our program runs for 42 weeks a year; please refer to the club membership page for specific dates.

What we do: Our Diddy Monkeys classes are designed to enhance children’s fine and gross motor skills, build strength and balance, improve hand-eye coordination, and develop musicality and rhythm. Each week features a new theme, ensuring that our children’s dance classes remain engaging and dynamic. Through the use of props, storybooks, and music, we create a fun and active learning environment.

Children can begin with the support of a parent and gradually transition to participating independently as they become more confident. To recognize their efforts, every child receives a sticker to add to their achievement chart.

We run 42 weeks of the year. See the club membership page for exact dates.
