Dance classes in Leatherhead for 2 - 5 year olds
Tiny Toes
Using a combination of movement, music and props our Tiny Toes class is the perfect way to introduce your child to the world of dance! Enhance your child’s physical, communication and social/emotional development. This class provides a stimulating yet gentle introduction to song and dance, improving body awareness and self-control.
Mini Movers
Watch your child’s confidence soar in this structured yet relaxed 30 minute class. Through imaginative storytelling children develop their co-ordination and rhythm as well as core control and attention span. Become immersed in a creative environment filled with musical instruments, ribbons, wands, flags and more.
Dinky Dancers
In this class we focus on their physical skills, rhythm, co-ordination, creativity and musicality. Classes are carefully structured to start to prepare children for syllabus work, widening their vocabulary of steps and moving confidently to music. The perfect stepping stone for our young dancers.
RAD Ballet
Ballet is the foundation for all styles of dance. Our classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance syllabi. Ballet technique helps to improve posture, balance and co-ordination as well as building physical strength and classical ballet technique. It also develops self-discipline, poise and grace as well as building self-confidence.
ISTD Tap
ISTD Tap classes encourage students to have fun exploring different intricate rhythms whilst developing excellent coordination and learning a wide vocabulary of steps. As they progress, students develop their style with more emphasis on speed of footwork, syncopation, improvisation and stage presence. ISTD Tap Examinations start at Primary running through to Vocational levels.
Tiny Tappers & Mini Moderns
A fun introduction to our tap and modern classes. Making lots of noise and running free to the music. A relaxed but energetic class to let your little ones go wild! Perfect for any current Mini Movers and Dinky Dancers!

“Dance First is a wonderful dance school. The standard of teaching is high and teachers are not only knowledgeable, but incredibly supportive of everyone. A wide range of dance lessons are available and since joining my daughter’s love of dance has grown even more. I thoroughly recommend Dance First to anyone considering dance lessons for their child, or even themselves. ”
