The activity

Dance, explained

Dance classes for children mix music, movement and play. In a typical group class a teacher warms the children up, then teaches a short routine step by step, building it up to the full song over several weeks. At a studio like this one, the styles lean towards Bollywood and Indian forms such as Bhangra and semi-classical, alongside hip hop and freestyle. Regular classes build coordination, rhythm, memory, stamina and the confidence to perform in front of others, and children make friends along the way. Starting ages differ from studio to studio and batch to batch, so ask before you book.

Who it's for

Children and teens, alongside adult batches. The timetable marks three batches as Kids (Kids Batch Weekend, Kids Juniors and Kids Weekday) and one as Teens (Freestyle Teens). The studio says classes are open to complete beginners as well as experienced dancers. Age bands for the kids' and teens' batches are not published: ask the studio which batch suits your child. Private home sessions are also offered and the studio describes them as suited to beginners and kids.

What to expect

Batches are one-hour group classes at the studio in Oud Metha, which has two mirrored studios with professional lighting, a sound system and changing rooms. You register by WhatsApp, Instagram or the website's contact form, and pay in full in advance for a pack of classes. Packs have a fixed validity (8 classes last 3 months), and classes not used in that time count as taken. All payments are non-refundable. The website does not mention a trial class, kit or dress code, so ask the studio what your child should wear and whether they can try a class first.
