Not just a dance class for children for adults to accompany them. Not a class for adults that welcomes children along too. This class is for adults and children - together. A time to allow children and their significant adults to be with each other differently. Differently than their usual domestic lives might allow.

We will engage in fun physical play, through games and tasks. Something that is good for all our physical, social and emotional development. And nourishing for our relationships. We will gently develop our awareness of ourselves in relation to others.

Dance Base is fully accessible for pushchairs from street level to the studio spaces. 

£5.50 includes 1 Big Person & 1 Little Person, if booking multiple spaces please call our reception team.
Additional sibling/family member: £3.50

Pre-booking advised due to demand.
