Freesoles Dance
Freesoles Dance is a school for everyone! As someone who has danced for 40 years and who was well supported through a local community school to dream big I strongly believe in the opportunities dance can create. I believe in dance for all. I believe in not limiting opportunities for those who love to dance. Dance can be a profession, a life long passion, a way to exercise, an opportunity for mindfulness, a chance for connection and friendship and a rewarding and creative past time for any one who shows up, joins in, finds a love and doesn't give up. At Freesoles Dance we are here to achieve that. We offer a broad range of dance styles because we know everybody can dance but not everyone loves or wants the same things. Where could you find your groove better than at dance class?!
​
At Freesoles Dance well qualified and experienced teachers with a broad skills base and access to a wide range of syllabi can tailor their classes to meet every students needs. At Freesoles Dance all dancers are valued and all will be provided with the opportunities that are right for them.
​
It's important to know that all our teachers have DBS checks, up to date extensive safeguarding training, first aid training and undertake regular professional development courses in all the genres we teach. At Freesoles Dance we are professional in all aspects of our work and our knowledge of safety and welfare is as impressive as our knowledge of dance!
​
student journey
At Freesoles a dancer can join our baby
boogie class at 2 and stay with us all the way to adult hood.
​
Our accompanied baby boogie class is an imaginative and creative class where children climb though the jungle, fly in their space ship, float down the river and ride their bicycles through a 30 minute introduction to dance every week.
​
From here dancers can join our main school where from approx. 4 years upward our ballet , tap and theatre classes will allow the opportunity for all types of adventures and achievements. As well as offering the opportunity for graded awards and medal tests through a comprehensive internationally recognised syllabus we take part in whole school shows, performance events, community events and competitions. There is always something new to try with these classes covering a great range of dance styles and performance styles.
​
Taught by experienced teachers and a qualified dance examiner no child fails at Freesoles - everyone gets the opportunity to take part in a way that is meaningful and right for them.
​
Our graded school runs up to professional level qualifications and at Freesoles if you make it this far and are still loving it (which we know you will be) we also offer professional level qualifications and teacher entry qualifications.
​
At Freesoles we believe dance provides lifelong enjoyment as so also offer three adult classes a week.
​
For those who would like to try something a little different we also offer street dance and freestyle classes and classes in Acrobatic dance.

What we want for our students
Our Values
Autonomy
Pupils at Freesoles Dance are in control of their dance journey. Dancers are welcome to choose their favourite classes, develop their own style, and be themselves. We will match this with expert tuition and care in whichever dance styles you choose.
Belonging
Friendship and community are at the heart of everything we do. Freesoles Dance is a community school that values each pupil and the social and performance opportunities dance creates.
Capability
We want all of our dancers to achieve their goals, and recognise their skills and abilities with pride. No matter your background or experience, our teachers will meet you where you are, and help you to fulfil your potential in a supportive environment.
