See timetable

Tempo Dance Center is a dance school in The Dome, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, and the JLT kids timetable on its website is built around two things: ballet for girls, split into age groups from 3.5 to 14, and a Bollywood class for kids. Ballet runs on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, Saturdays from 10am to 1pm and Sunday afternoons, and Bollywood runs on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and early evenings, so there are after-school and weekend options. The timetable is undated, so confirm current times before booking. The studio describes itself as a franchised dance company with over 15 years of experience, and says its instructors are professional dancers who have won dance championships. Its programmes cover ages from three to adults, seven days a week; the salsa, bachata, tango, kizomba, belly dance, dabkeh, Latin, ballroom and yoga classes on its website are part of the adult programme. Booking is by phone, WhatsApp, email or the contact form on the website.

The activity

Dance, explained

Dance classes give children a fun, structured way to build rhythm, coordination, balance and confidence while moving to music with others. Ballet is the most technical starting point: children learn posture, positions and simple steps, often in small classes grouped by age, and it rewards patience and focus. Bollywood dance is looser and more expressive, mixing Indian classical and folk moves with film-song choreography, so it suits children who love energetic, story-led routines. Most studios take children from about age three or four, with classes getting longer and more technical as they grow. No experience is needed to start; comfortable clothes and a willingness to try are enough for a first class.

Who it's for

Girls aged 3.5 to 14 for ballet, in four age groups (3.5-5, 5-7, 7-9 and 9-14), and children for the Bollywood class, which the timetable lists as a kids' class without an age band. No level is given for either class, so ask the provider which group suits a beginner and whether boys can join ballet.

What to expect

Classes on the website's JLT kids timetable last one hour; ballet groups meet on set Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons and at weekends (Saturday between 10am and 1pm, Sunday between 4pm and 6pm, depending on the age group), and Bollywood runs on Monday and Wednesday. The timetable is undated, so check the current times with the studio. The website does not describe a first class, a kit list or a trial policy, so ask the provider what a first session involves, what your child should wear and whether a trial class is available before you sign up. The studio says it can design a customised schedule for each student, so ask if the set times do not fit.
