Modern Classes

Unleash Your Creativity and Expressiveness

At DSPA, we believe that modern dance is a powerful form of artistic expression that allows dancers to explore their creativity, emotions, and individuality. Our modern dance classes are designed to ignite passion, develop technique, and encourage self-expression in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Why Choose DSPA Modern Dance Classes?

•  Versatile and Dynamic Movement: Modern dance is known for its versatility and freedom of movement. Our experienced instructors guide students through various contemporary dance techniques and styles, incorporating fluidity, athleticism, and expression. Students will learn to explore their bodies’ full range of motion while developing strength, flexibility, and control.

•  Age-Appropriate Classes: We offer modern dance classes for students of all ages and skill levels. From our Little Movers classes for young children to our Teen Contemporary classes and Adult Modern classes, there’s something for everyone. Each class is thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs of the students, ensuring a positive and enriching experience.

•  Technical Foundation: While modern dance encourages individuality and creative expression, it is essential to build a strong technical foundation. Our instructors provide comprehensive training, focusing on alignment, core strength, body awareness, and musicality. Students will learn fundamental techniques such as release, contraction, floor work, and improvisation.

Our classes incorporate improvisation exercises and choreographic workshops that encourage students to explore their unique movement qualities and develop their artistic voice.

A fabulous, fun, friendly and professional dance school. Dawson School of Performing Arts encourage the children to follow their dreams and dance like no-one’s watching! Would highly recommend to anyone my daughter absolutely loves it.

Louisa Short

I cannot recommend this dance school highly enough. My daughter moved to this school 4 years ago and since then her confidence, technique and enjoyment have climbed from strength to strength. The teaching is exceptional, where teachers encourage and inspire the students and provide opportunities outside of the dance syllabus

Alex Colson

Dawson School of Performing Arts is an amazing dance school. It is nurturing, whilst still encouraging the children to aim high. My daughter has had some fantastic opportunities and her confidence both on and off the dance floor has grown so much. Cannot recommend this dance school enough!

My daughter has been attending DSPA for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys it. There is a great atmosphere of support and encouragement at the school and a wonderful balance of having fun whilst learning and making progress. The students are taken through exams and assessments without feeling undue pressure and are encouraged to reach their potential. The teachers are kind and an inspiration to the children they teach. Most importantly my daughter loves going and dancing every week, staying fit and having fun! Mum of Jane, aged 8.

I’m very impressed with the teaching quality on the online lessons and all of the extras you have implemented since taking over the school. I’m glad that Lily can be a part of such an amazing organisation. Mum of Lily aged 8.

I have two daughters who dance at Dawson School Of Performing Arts, my eldest has danced for 8 yrs and my youngest started at our Twinkletoes and has danced with the school for 5 yrs. Dancing is their world and it’s all thanks to the dedicated, professional teachers who have taught them all their skills and technique that they know to date. Dawson School of Performing Arts isn’t just a dance school. It’s a dance family where every child is respected and also taught the love of dance and being part of a team. There is no teacher I wouldn’t be happy teaching my children and there is no other dance school I would want them to be part of. Miss Elin and her team are the best.

Dawn Evans

My daughter has been at the dance school for 5 years now and this will be her third year as part of the performance team. She has always had lovely teachers who make lessons fun as well as having high expectations of technique. She absolutely loves coming to dance and attends five days a week. They have put on amazing shows and attended numerous competitions all while ensuring the children are happy and enjoying themselves. Charlie also has singing lessons and attends musical theatre classes, all of which are helping to build confidence. The dance school feels like a family which we hope to be part of for years to come!

Stephanie Hill

My daughter has been dancing with this amazing team of teachers since she was 3 years old. They have nurtured my daughters love for dancing and have encouraged her to try new things. DSPA provide such a wide variety of classes and the teachers are so creative. She loves all the different opportunities that she has experienced. They have been extremely supportive during the challenges we have faced with COVID this year through providing online lessons. The main thing is that my daughter loves it and loves the teachers. She leaves every lesson bouncing! Mum of Eloise, aged 9.
