North Wales School of Dancing offers dance classes for all ages, from young children through to adults. The school is registered with both the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), ensuring tuition follows established curricula and examination standards.
Classes span a range of styles. Ballet follows the RAD curriculum and develops poise, coordination, musicality and expression. Tap and jazz are taught to ISTD standards, with jazz described as a high-energy style that builds fitness, creativity and confidence. The school also offers modern theatre dance, streetdance, hip hop, freestyle and musical theatre classes. For the youngest dancers, Melody Movement introduces ballet and tap through natural body movements like running, walking, jumping and skipping.
Musical theatre classes combine drama games, vocal training and choreography from well-known West End and Broadway productions. Commercial jazz classes cater to children aged four and up who enjoy chart music, with teaching tailored by age group.
