GO DANCE 2026
Classes
We offer an exceptional range of classes for children in Ballet, Tap, Modern Theatre and Street Dance (including pre school). These dance styles are taught by experienced and qualified teachers trained in Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) and Royal Academy Dance (RAD) syllabi.
@dance scotland We take a developmentally appropriate approach to teaching dance, from developing basic movements in the younger classes to instilling a sense of self motivation and achievement in the exam classes. As children grow they gain more control over their movements. We then teach them to refine them and think about fitness and performance.
Tiny Tots
Our Tiny Tots class is the perfect introduction to dance for children aged 2-4 years, and we would like a parent or carer to stay and join in the experience to help little ones feel comfortable and supported. Through colourful props, age-appropriate music, imaginative themes and storytelling, children develop their fine and gross motor skill, coordination, balance and confidence in a fun, nurturing environment. each class gently introduces the first steps of dance while encouraging creativity, musicality, listening skills and social development, making every lesson a magical adventure through movement and play shared together with their grown-up.
Mini Movers
These classes are for children aged from 2½ to around 5. Early childhood includes the development of gross motor skills. This means children learning to control the large muscles in the body that help them walk, skip, run, jump and move around in different ways. We use stories, games and colourful props to help bring these classes to life.
Ballet
In ballet we offer examinations in pre-school, primary, grades 1-6 and major grades in both ISTD and RAD examinations boards.
Modern| Jazz|Lyrical
When your child reaches Primary Grade they will begin learning Jazz and Modern in their classes. We offer the ISTD examination board’s grades to majors in Modern Theatre Dance and Bronze to Gold awards in Jazz.

Premises
In order to offer the widest variety of classes at convenient times, we often need to use venues that are not purpose built. Although not always ideal, we try to be flexible in order to keep classes local. We may occasionally teach two groups of children in the hall at one time. The children can see what the older children are doing encouraging them to progress, and allowing us to provide extra exam practise classes as required.
Private lessons
We now offer one-to-one lessons. Your child may benefit from individual attention if working towards a specific goal. For availability and prices please contact us.
Exams
@dance scotland are delighted with the tie in of the Royal Academy of Dance and SQA. Childrens exams from Grade 1 onwards are credited with National 3 to Advanced Higher Level certificates. Since 2012 the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS) are introducing a point allocation for major dance examinations. These points can be used towards all UK university and college admissions. For example, an award of Distinction at Intermediate level is the equivalent point allocation to a B in Higher.
