Dakoda’s Dance Academy class sizes are limited to ensure each child receives individual attention. We inspire our students to excel and to be the best they can, whether for fun, fitness or if they aspire to a career in dance and performing arts.
Our exceptional DDA classes are designed to teach in a fun yet disciplined, structured and positive learning environment, where your child can find many ways to express themselves.
Dance education is far more than just technique and steps. We believe dance training teaches many skills needed for a happy successful life, not only physically, but mentally, socially and emotionally. So whether or not they stay in dance after childhood, their memories and skills will be used and cherished throughout their lives.
Classes are inspiring, vibrant and our professional teachers are, of course DBS checked. All our dance classes help with co-ordination, concentration, confidence, creativity, musicality, flexibility, strength and stamina. All dance attire is stocked and available to fit and purchase on Saturdays during term time.
