Children’s Dance Classes

Rise Studios, a local Contemporary Dance club in Rickmansworth, is excited to promote their upcoming Children's Dance Classes. These classes cater to toddlers aged 6 months to 4.5 years, offering a range of fun and creative dance/movement sessions. By incorporating storytelling, props, and action songs, toddlers are introduced to the world of dance and drama in a truly exciting way. And don't worry, parents! These classes are designed to be enjoyable for both you and your child, with music ranging from Disney tunes to the latest pop songs.

One popular class offered by Rise Studios is Tappy Toes, which provides franchise opportunities for individuals interested in starting their own family-friendly business. If you're curious and want more information, be sure to visit the Tappy Toes website or check out their video in the gallery.

For children aged 3 to 4 years old, Rise Studios offers Baby Ballet. This 30-minute class focuses on teaching the basic ballet skills such as skipping, galloping, turning, and plies. With the use of classical music, nursery rhymes, and Disney tunes, a creative and confidence-building environment is created. Children even have the opportunity to bring a doll or teddy to class! As a reward for their participation, they receive stickers or token medals.

Children who progress from Baby Ballet can move on to Pre-Primary Ballet and Primary Ballet, following the ISTD syllabus. This also provides an opportunity for exams, allowing children to showcase their progress and receive recognition for their hard work.

Not every parent wants their child to attend dance classes on a frequent basis. That's why Rise Studios offers Modern & Tap Dance Classes, where both disciplines are combined in a single class. Students even have the option to take exams as part of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing syllabus. To motivate and reward their efforts, Rise Studios employs a sticker chart system. Upon completion of the chart, students receive a small 'dance' prize.

If your child is bursting with energy and loves to dance to the latest pop tunes, the Mini, and Junior Street class is perfect! This high-energy and funky class focuses solely on having fun and burning off that excess energy. Each class includes a warm-up, travelling steps, and a brand-new street dance routine every couple of weeks. To track attendance and hard work, Rise Studios uses sticker charts. And upon completion, students receive a well-deserved dance prize!

But dance isn't just for kids at Rise Studios. They also offer Adult Dance Classes, which serve as an alternative to the gym. These classes are designed as dance workouts and are a great way to tone up those legs, bums, and tums. Plus, you can enjoy these workouts in a friendly and positive environment.

For children aged 3 to 6 years, Rise Studios offers Mini Musical Theatre. This class combines dance, drama, and singing to build confidence, encourage creativity, and provide exercise. Opportunities to perform at local events, festivals, annual pantomimes, and the bi-annual Summer show are also available.

If your child is into funky dance styles often seen in music videos, the Street Dance and Hip-Hop class is a must. This class includes a strengthening warm-up and focuses on choreographing routines to the latest R&B or pop tracks. And for those students interested in pursuing a dance career, there's even an opportunity to audition for the Hip-Hop crews. These crews participate in various events and competitions throughout the year.

Finally, Rise Studios offers a comprehensive Musical Theatre course that covers all three disciplines – Drama, Singing, and Dance. The emphasis is on providing as many opportunities to perform as possible, including theatrical events, festivals, end-of-term demonstrations, and the annual Pantomime.
