Turning Pointe School of Dance will be running a modern dance workshop that is suitable for children of any gender, aged 5-10. This will be a fun and energetic class set to upbeat music, suitable for complete beginners as well as students with previous dance experience! The workshop will involve a short warm-up, stretching and learning a dance routine. This will then be followed by a short performance by some of our current students, including extracts from our production of The Jungle Book. Be sure to come along on Saturday 21st September to the United Reform Church Hall at 3.45pm to join in!
More about Turning Pointe:
At Turning Pointe School of Dance we offer professional Dance training in Ballet, Tap, Modern and Jazz for children aged three all the way up to Advanced Level, including adult classes. We are a well-established school with a 50 year history in the area, and offer classes in Haywards Heath, Lindfield, Plumpton, Balcombe and Lewes.
We value every pupil as an individual, and whilst many of our students are offered places at prestigious conservatoires and universities (including The Royal Ballet School, London Studio Centre, The BRIT School, London Contemporary School of Dance, Trinity Laban, and Northern School of Contemporary Dance) others attend lessons purely as a hobby and a form of exercise, but the escapism and enjoyment they gain from the classes is just as important.
Our pupils have the opportunity to take exams in RAD Ballet and ISTD Modern and Tap if they wish to do so, and every two years we put on a large production in a professional theatre. We also enjoy performing at community events like Lindfield Arts Festival, and hope that you will enjoy watching some of our dancers today! More information about Turning Pointe can be found on their website here.
