Our immersive activity classes are for parents and kids to enjoy with each other, a special time each week to focus on having fun together. During a class we go on an imaginative journey around the space. Using a unique combination of dance, mime, songs, costumes and decor, we explore a different theme each week, bringing it alive in the children’s imagination. Some themes are fantastical while others celebrate everyday activities which kids can relate to.

We give attention to individual work and group activities so that the children develop an awareness of their body and the space around them. They also get to expand their English vocabulary and a chance to interact with others. Each child is encouraged to feel welcome and included, without any pressure to do anything they’re not comfortable with.

We are committed to being as inclusive as possible. Classes are LGBT+ family friendly and celebrate all nationalities, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Unfortunately our studio is not currently accessible for wheelchair users, but together with other members of our building, we are working on finding a long term solution for this. If reaching the studio for either you or your child would be difficult, please let us know and we will look at possibilities.

How do I sign my child up?
Go to this page to book and pay. Numbers are limited so be sure to sign up in advance if you want to be sure of a place, especially on Saturdays!

Can my child do a tryout class first?
Yes, by arrangement when we have space in the class. You pay for a tryout in advance and we arrange a day with you when it’s possible. If you want to sign your child up after the tryout, it’s only possible if we have a space in that group, you then pay for the remaining classes in that block. However, we can’t guarantee your child a place in that block if the group is already full.

What happens if we have to miss a class?
If you cannot come to one of the classes you’ve paid for, it’s possible to do a make up class in a future block, but only once. If for some reason, you have to stop doing a course, we cannot refund your payment. You are welcome however, to send another child in your child’s place for the rest of the block, you would need to arrange this yourself.

How often are the themes repeated?
Themes are normally repeated twice a year, except for the special classes like Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

What should my child wear to the class?
Nothing special, it’s best if they have either bare feet or socks with non-slip soles. And you should both wear clothes you can move in.

What happens if my child is disruptive during a class?
We know that young kids don’t always feel like joining in. If your child is very upset or their behaviour is causing a disruption to the class, we kindly ask you to go outside the room with them for a few minutes to let them calm down. We’ve found that in the majority of cases this works well, and they are able to join in the rest of the class without problems.

My child is under 2 years old, but I think they would love the classes, can they attend?
The classes are aimed at kids from 2-4 years old (24-59 months). But since children’s development differs so much from child to child, it’s ok with us if you want to try the class when your child is slightly younger.

I also have a baby to look after, can I bring them to the class as well?
Occasionally a family has a baby sibling who needs to come along with them, this isn’t usually a problem as long as you’re still able to join in the class with your older child. Babies up to 1 year 5 months are free, but from 1 year 6 months, you will need to pay for them at the concessionary rate.
