Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday sessions run 55 minutes with instructors trained in the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus.

What to expect from dance classes

This session runs 55 minutes, for ages 3–14. Classes follow a structured format: warm-up and stretching, technique work (barre exercises for ballet, isolations for hip-hop), choreography or creative work, and cool-down. Most academies hold an annual performance or recital — a genuine highlight for students and families. Dress codes vary by style: ballet typically requires leotard and soft shoes, while hip-hop and contemporary are more relaxed. Crescent Music & Dance Academy offers a free trial session before you commit.
