OUR DANCE SCHOOL
Bosworth Dance exchange is our sister school to Bosworth Theatre Stars. Children wishing to study dance in more depth will benefit from learning all styles of dance including ballet, Jazz, tap and commercial.
Our goal for the school is to provide an opportunity for anyone in the community to discover the joys of dance! Furthermore, all of our teachers are very highly trained in their field of dance. They have trained at top London theatre academies and enjoyed successful careers in the industry.
Bosworth Dance Exchange – discover the joys of dance!
BDE offers classes to students from the age of 2.5 through to 18. Therefore, students will be motivated through a syllabus that includes a balance of classical/jazz/tap and commercial (street dance).
IDTA exams can be taken in ballet, tap and jazz. Our street dance classes are ‘open’ classes and therefore an exam isn’t taken.
I would like to take this opportunity to advise you of following information which you may find helpful:
- Our school will run weekly (excluding school holidays, however, during the summer break, some classes will run)
- Your child’s first trial class is free and should they love it then the 2nd week is paid on the day in cash.
- If, after your child has completed 2 weeks of classes and has decided to join us, fees will be due monthly in advance. Invoices will be sent out at the end of each month and are due on the 1st of the month. We operate a cashless system so please see invoice details for bacs payments.
Please Note: A month’s notice is required, in writing. All cancellation requests must be emailed to [email protected]
Up to date information on classes etc will be posted on our Facebook page Bosworth Dance Exchange. Furthermore we could love for you to leave us a review too! Occasionally, we will post video clips to show you what your child has been doing in class. Please let me know if you would rather your child was NOT included in this.
