DreamCatchers dance and Acro classes are designed to build core strength, tone, flexibility, muscular strength, musicality, confidence, control, stamina, balance, coordination, creative imagination, social skills and technique. We teach a range of styles throughout the year, or alternatively, there are classes for specific dance styles, details of which can be found on our timetable.

Both Dance and Acrobatics are proven to improve posture, reduce stress levels and depression, boost self esteem and confidence, maintain healthy muscles and weight, and enhance concentration- all things we focus on every week.

​
Dance Styles we offer-Ballet, Musical Theatre, Lyrical, Contemporary and Jazz/Modern.
​
Acrobatics- each class is structured following the acredited Acrobatics Arts syllabus where skills are learnt through levels and progressions. Acro classes consist of warm up (cardio, strength and conditioning) Limbering, flexibility, balancing, tumbling and finished with a cool down/stretch.

All the material they have been working on throughout the year is presented to you, while simultaneously giving the children performance opportunities and building their stage skills. There are many other opportunities to perform throughout the year, at fairs, festivals, events, and much more.
