Welcome to Rhythm Nation Studios where talent is nurtured, confidence is grown and friendships blossom. We have very passionate teachers that deliver top quality dance instruction without the high pressurisation for results, we want every child to develop and grow at their own rate and feel safe to really let go and have fun within our classes. Your child will have the optional opportunity to take exams under the IDTA/Acrobatic Arts syllabus if they so wish, and take part in our exciting full scale theatre productions. Children who attend our classes will learn the skills of their chosen styles having so much fun that they won’t even realise they are becoming fantastic dancers in the process.
We strictly limit our class numbers per class to 16 for Street, Ballet, Tap and Jazz, 12 for Acro and 20 for Musical Theatre. This ensures each and every child gets the attention and experience they deserve. Parent’s/Guardian’s can drop off from this level upwards, we which do recommend.
