Ballet, Contemporary and Tap

Young women in en pointe pose in studio.

We are accredited by the Royal Academy of Dance and International Society of Teachers’ Association

The benefits of adult ballet include:

  • Improved strength, stamina, control, coordination and endurance
  • Awareness of balance and posture
  • Flexibility and range of motion
  • Enjoyment of dancing to varied classical and modern music
  • Self-motivation leading to self-appreciation and increased confidence
  • Making new friends and having loads of fun!

Northamptonshire School of Dance teachers offer RAD and IDTA exams.

Ballet is taught by Hayley, Contemporary by Lucy and Tap by Holly

Adult Dance Class Uniform

Adult dancers will prefer to wear suitable clothing to be able to move freely in, such as leggings or a tracksuit, a vest, t-shirt or leotard.

As for footwear, we suggest socks for ballet, shoes for tap for the first week and then ballet / tap shoes thereafter. 

We recommend that dance shoes are ordered through Northamptonshire School of Dance to ensure quality and teachers will check fittings.

Ballroom, Latin and Salsa

Strictly for everyone… learn Ballroom and Latin American steps and dances. Whether it’s for yourself, a surprise dance at a wedding or a group activity… everyone is welcome!

Ballroom and Latin are coming soon on a Friday evening.
Social Salsa will be held on Fridays every 2 months, the first one is on 31st Jan 2025.
