Dance classes for children in East Dulwich

[jeangully]

I'm looking for a dance class for my 4 year old. We have given up ballet as it didn't really suit her, some kind of free movement/ street dance is what I'm looking for. I know the ballet schools in Dulwich Village do such classes but I don't have transport and so would prefer SE22 or SE15. She did Diddi Dance which she loved but she is now too old for that. Thanks.

O i am so glad you asked this question because a friend and i were just discussing this yeasterday. Would love to get my 4 year old into a class like this too...a bit of everything sort of class.

Hi Jean,

I run a Street Dance Class called Dizzy Rascalz at the Coppleston Centre on a Wednesday afternoon at 4pm for children aged 4 thru to 11 (we run 2 classes back to back) the kids really love this class, and the teacher is great, they learn routines from High School Musical, Dizzy Rascal, and have just learnt the routine to Thriller.

The class did a little dance show at Dulwich Park Christmas fair in December which they loved. Please come for a free trial and see what you think and if you decide to join up its only 5.00 a session. Really look forward to seeing you there. If you have any questions please contact me on whataboutnetty@yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks, sounds great. Will certainly give it a go. I actually think I have heard of this. Alot cheaper than we paid for the ballet classes!

Netty100, this class sounds fun, and I'm sure my older daughter (age 5) would like to do this. But I've also got a younger child (2) so my question is, what do people do about younger siblings if the older one wants to go to an after-school class? Do the parents/childminders stay and watch, and if so, is there somewhere for the younger ones to play? Or do the carers go off for an hour (or however long it is) with the little ones in tow?

I'm a bit new to after-school classes - it seemed simpler when all our local activities were just aimed at 'under-fives' and both kids could go along at the same time.

Hi,

These classes are a drop off - or of course you are welcome to stay, there is a separate room for you to sit in if you wish to stay. Please come and have a free trial on Wednesday at 4pm and see what you think.
