What to Expect in Our After-School Dance Clubs - Dance Classes for Primary School Children | Erika Dance LTD

Wondering what actually happens in one of our after-school dance sessions? Our clubs are designed to spark joy, build confidence, and give children a creative outlet at the end of their school day — all while keeping things structured, supportive, and fun.

Here’s what your child can look forward to each week:

🕺 A Warm, Welcoming Start

We begin each class by welcoming every child with a smile. After a busy school day, our goal is to create a calm, positive environment where they can feel relaxed and excited to move.We start with gentle warm-ups, fun rhythm games, and simple stretches to get their bodies moving and minds focused.

🎶 Learning New Moves

Each term has its own theme or dance style — from Ballet and Jazz to Contemporary or Commercial Street Dance.We break down each routine step-by-step, allowing children to learn at their own pace. Our classes are designed to be inclusive, so beginners feel comfortable and more experienced dancers feel challenged.

💫 Building Confidence Through Performance

At the end of the term, children have the chance to perform for their classmates or even for parents during our special Watching Week.These small performances are not about perfection — they are about celebrating effort, progress, and having the courage to shine.

🌈 A Space Where Everyone Belongs

Our after-school clubs are open to children from Reception to Year 6. We group them by age and ability so that every child feels supported, encouraged, and part of a team.

We believe in building an atmosphere where every child — shy or outgoing, experienced or brand new — feels valued.

💖 The Bigger Picture

Dance teaches children much more than steps. It develops focus, creativity, coordination, and resilience.Most importantly, it gives them a place to be themselves, make friends, and end the

school day with smiles.
