Seniors - Children aged 13+ years

Our mantra at Rhythm Nation Studios is to Inspire, Motivate and Create. We have very passionate teachers that deliver top quality dance instruction without the high pressurisation for results, we want every dancer to develop and grow at their own rate and feel safe to really let go and have fun within our classes! Our seniors tend to have come to us at a beginner/junior level and then work their way up through their training with us and so our senior classes are all high ability. However, if you have a child who wants to start dancing at 13+ years of age it’s never too late! We recommend you get in touch with us before booking a taster class online to discuss the best start for your dancer.

Seniors have the optional opportunity to take exams under the IDTA syllabus if they so wish, or simply come to class and enjoy the class week to week without going through the grading systems. We also offer performance opportunities locally by taking all pupils to a theatre for our showcase! (Again, don’t worry, everything is optional!) We strictly limit our class numbers to 16 only per class to ensure each and every dancer gets the attention and experience they deserve. We allow seniors to attend our classes without being accompanied by a parent/guardian and relax in our waiting areas unattended, as long as permission is provided from the parent/guardian.

You’ll only be able to book certain styles through our online booking system, for any other styles, please use the contact form and get in touch with a member of staff.
