The Kirsty Farrow Dance Academy offers dance classes in Swindon for all ages, 18 months old to adults.

For children 18 months to 2 and a half, we offer Toddler Music and Movement classes with a parent or guardian. This is a fun class where children are encouraged to learn through music. The classes help children with their physical, cognitive and communication development.

For children of 2 and a half to school age we offer Pre-School classes which includes Ballet, Modern and Tap. Here the children are taught the basics of the three genres, whilst incorporating musical rhymes and games to encourage a musical awareness. It is proven that children who take part in dance classes at this age can develop better co-ordination, concentration and communication skills.

Once a child has reached school age they will progress though the grades commencing from Primary Class Test Ballet, Tap and Modern. Examinations can be taken from 5 years of age. All children are encouraged to work towards these examinations as it is a measure of months of their hard work and determination, although it is not compulsory. Pupils entered for examinations are at the discretion of the principals and their class teacher.

The school also offers National dance where the students learn different dances from many countries all over the world. They learn the many styles of National dance as well as developing a broader knowledge of countries being studied.

Musical Theatre is offered to children from age 4. During these classes children develop skills in singing, drama and performance. For more information please go to our Musical Theatre page.
