The Perfect Time to Start Dance

The Perfect Time to Start Dance Classes at Sarah-Louise Ashworth School of Dance

As September draws to a close, many families are starting to settle into the new routines of school life. Whether your child has just started their exciting journey in reception year or has taken that big step into secondary school, now is the perfect time to introduce a new adventure—dance!

At Sarah-Louise Ashworth School of Dance, we believe dance is more than just movement; it’s a joyful way for children to express themselves, gain confidence, and develop new friendships, all while having fun. 

Why Start Dance Classes Now?

For many children, the first few weeks of school can feel like a whirlwind of new faces, routines, and expectations. Now that your child has had a chance to settle into their new environment, adding an activity like dance can be a fantastic way to enhance their experience. Here’s why:

1. Building Confidence in New Beginnings 

   Starting school—whether it's reception or Year 7—can be a big change for any child. Dance offers a safe, supportive environment where children can learn new skills, express themselves creatively, and feel a sense of accomplishment. This boost in confidence can carry over into their school life, helping them navigate challenges with more self-assurance.

2. Physical and Emotional Well-being

   As children adjust to the structure of school, dance provides an outlet for them to release energy, stay active, and focus on their physical well-being. But it’s not just about the physical side! Dancing allows children to express emotions they might not be able to put into words, offering a healthy outlet for the stresses and excitement of school life.

3. Routine and Discipline  

   Whether your child is learning to manage the early mornings of primary school or the new independence of secondary school, dance helps instil routine and discipline in a fun, engaging way. Regular classes will provide structure outside of school, encouraging time management, dedication, and responsibility.

4. A Space for New Friendships

   One of the most wonderful things about dance is the friendships that are formed. At Sarah-Louise Ashworth School of Dance, we foster a warm, welcoming environment where every child can feel included. It’s a great way for children to meet others who share similar interests, especially for those who may be looking for new friends as they adjust to their new school setting.

Classes for All Ages and Abilities

We offer a range of classes tailored to different age groups and abilities, from beginners to more advanced dancers. For our youngest stars just starting in reception, we have fun, imaginative sessions that spark creativity and help develop motor skills. For those embarking on their secondary school journey, we offer more structured classes, focusing on technique and performance, perfect for those looking to develop a passion for dance.
