Students receive the highest level of dance instruction. I believe that dance is not only a form of artistic expression, but also a way to build confidence, develop friendships, and nurture a love for performing arts.
At Sophie's Academy of Performing Arts, we offer a range of dance classes for students of all ages, starting from 2. 5 years old. Our classes are held at Cotgrave Leisure Centre and Cropwell Butler Village Hall, providing accessible locations for everyone in Nottingham. We are proud to be affiliated with the International Dance Teachers' Association (IDTA), ensuring that our students receive professional training and have the opportunity to take grade examinations.
Ballet is at the core of our dance training, providing a strong foundation of technique, poise, grace, and fluidity of movement. Whether it's for pleasure or a more serious pursuit, ballet classes offer something for everyone. We also offer tap dance, a rhythmic and enjoyable style of dance that is infectious to all ages. Our freestyle dance classes incorporate the trendiest moves and latest sounds of the UK charts, keeping our students up-to-date with the hottest dance floor trends.
Musical Theatre is another exciting class we offer, combining the art of dancing and singing. This fusion allows students to develop the essential qualities for stage performance and shine in the spotlight. For those interested in acro-gymnastics, our qualified British Gymnastics teacher focuses on floor skills, balance, and flexibility, enabling students to learn impressive acrobatic moves such as cartwheels, aerials, and more.
In addition to dance classes, we also provide individual singing lessons with a top professional vocalist. Our modern approach to singing covers all aspects, including scales and breathing skills, allowing students to become pitch perfect.
As a student at Sophie's Academy, you can expect to be valued as an individual and receive professional training for examinations. We believe in showcasing our students' talents through regular shows and presentations, providing them with performance opportunities and a supportive, fun environment.
For parents, rest assured that your child will be trained by a qualified teacher with a passion for dance. We will nurture your child's skills and boost their confidence. You will have the joy of witnessing your child's achievements through our shows and presentations.
To ensure uniformity and professionalism in our classes, we have a compulsory uniform available for purchase at the Academy itself.
