What to Expect
At Dance Legacy, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, make friendships and create lasting memories through dance.
Suitable for approximately 6–18 years.
Our age groups are designed as a guide rather than a strict rule. Every dancer develops at their own pace, so if we feel a child would benefit from moving into a different class, we’ll discuss this with you. Likewise, if you think another age group may be a better fit for your child, we’re always happy to have a conversation and find the class where they’ll thrive.
We aim to create a group where every dancer feels welcomed and comfortable.
Following a Trial Class
We recommend starting with a trial class, giving your child the opportunity to meet the teachers, experience the class and decide if it’s the right fit before joining.
After a successful trial, dancers join through our monthly memberships, securing their place in class and becoming part of the Dance Legacy community.
Once your child's trial class has been booked, we'll send you everything you need before their first session.
This includes an emergency contact and consent form, which we ask you to complete before attending, along with all the information you’ll need about the class, including what to wear, where to go and what to expect on the day.
Our aim is to make your child’s first visit as smooth, safe and enjoyable as possible, so if you have any questions before your class, we’re always happy to help.
