Adult Dance Classes

Everyone receives a very warm welcome at our Adult Dance classes. Whether you are returning to a childhood hobby or completely new to dance, our friendly classes for the over 18s have no upper age limit and are open to all levels and abilities.

We currently offer adult dance classes in BALLET, CONTEMPORARY and TAP.

The benefits of adult dance 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!

Fees are payable in advance of each term or pay as you go – please contact for more information.

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, vests, t-shirts or a 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 good quality and teachers will check fittings.
