Two hours of acro dance a week for children aged 9 to 16, at Chobham Academy in East Village, Stratford. Walkovers, limbers, handsprings and aerial work, built skill by skill with proper matting and proper spotting. Nobody moves up before the prerequisites are there — that's how acro stays safe. The second hour is strength and conditioning: core, shoulders, wrists, hip flexibility and the controlled landing. It's the least glamorous hour of the week and it's the reason our dancers get their skills and keep their bodies intact. For dancers who've completed Acro Beginners or have equivalent experience.

Contemporary dance classes for young people aged 5 to 18 in Stratford, East London. Floor work, release technique, weight and momentum, and choreography that's about something. Contemporary is the style where dancers stop performing steps and start saying things — and for teenagers in particular, that turns out to matter enormously. It builds strength and control that show up in every other style, and it's the discipline most valued if a dancer later auditions for college or conservatoire. Some previous dance experience is helpful but not essential.

Commercial dance classes for teenagers aged 12 to 18 in Stratford, East London. Music-video choreography taught the way it's actually made — sharp, fast, performance-first, and rehearsed until it's clean. Expect to work, and expect to film it. It's a Saturday afternoon class, which means no rushing from school and no homework guilt. For a lot of our teenagers this is the hour of the week that's entirely theirs. All levels. Come with a friend if it's easier — most people do.

Musical theatre classes for children and teenagers aged 8 to 16 in East Village, Stratford. Songs from the shows, with the acting and the storytelling taken as seriously as the steps. We work on projection, character, staying in character while out of breath, and performing to an audience rather than at one. It's the class that most reliably changes children — the quiet ones especially. Something happens when a child realises they're allowed to be big on a stage. No singing experience needed and no auditions. Everyone performs.

Preschool dance classes in Stratford for children aged 3 and 4, at Chobham Academy in East Village. Forty-five joyful minutes of movement, music and imagination — skipping, balancing, spinning, and a lot of pretending to be things. It builds coordination, listening, confidence and the ability to take turns, long before it looks like "proper" dance. No experience needed and none expected. Some children join in from minute one; some watch for three weeks and then never stop. Both are completely normal. Small groups, one familiar teacher every week, and a short show-and-tell for grown-ups at the end of term.

Commercial and street dance classes for children aged 5 to 10 in Stratford, at Chobham Academy. The style they actually want to dance — sharp, current choreography to music they already know, taught properly rather than copied off a screen. Commercial builds a genuinely useful set of skills: picking up choreography fast, dancing in formation, and performing with attitude in front of people. It's also, reliably, where children who insist they "don't do dance" discover that they do. No experience needed. Trainers and comfortable clothes, and that's it.

Children's ballet classes in Stratford for ages 5 to 7, at Chobham Academy, E20. Proper classical foundations, taught with warmth. Posture, alignment, strength and grace — the technique that makes every other style of dance easier, and the reason ballet is where most dancers start. Our teaching is RAD-informed and our teachers trained at Trinity Laban, Performers College and beyond. But what your child will notice is that they get better at something every week, and that somebody notices. Complete beginners are welcome. Two class times a week — Thursday after school or Saturday in the afternoon.

Two hours of jazz training a week for children aged 8 to 11, in East Village, Stratford. The first hour is jazz: choreography, performance, and the routines they'll take to the show. The second is technique and conditioning — strength, flexibility, alignment, turns and jumps broken down properly, and the physical foundation that prevents injury as the work gets harder. That second hour is the difference between a child who can copy a routine and one who can actually dance. Most schools charge extra for it or don't offer it at all. Beginners are welcome — the technique hour is where they catch up fastest.

Acro dance classes for children aged 5 to 8 in East Village, Stratford — where dance technique meets acrobatic skill. Rolls, bridges and balances through to cartwheels, handstands and, eventually, walkovers. Taught safely and progressively, with proper matting and proper spotting — every skill has prerequisites and nobody skips them. It's the class children ask for by name, and it builds strength and flexibility that show up in everything else they do. Beginners welcome. No gymnastics background needed.

Two hours of serious jazz training a week for dancers aged 12 to 18, in Stratford, East London. An hour of technique and conditioning — strength, flexibility, control, and the turns and jumps that need real work to land — followed by an hour of choreography and performance. This is the class for teenagers who have stopped dancing for fun alone and want to get properly good. Several of our competitive team train here, and it's where most of them started. Open to teenagers with some previous dance experience. If you're not sure, come and try it — we'll tell you honestly.
