Exciting Events
Events explained.....
When you join Freesoles Dance there will always be events and activities for you to look forwards to including a variety of performances, workshops and social activities.
Open days are a chance for you to come in to the school and watch your child's class. This is a chance to observe dance class as it is delivered on a week by week basis, to see what and how your child is learning and to ask and questions you may have. It is also a chance for teachers to feedback to you and discuss your child's progress. Our next open days are planned for the whole school on 19th , 20th and 24th May 2025.
Open days
Exams and mock exam practices
Exams are a great opportunity to showcase work that has been practiced and developed to a high standard. Dance exams are a fabulous mark of achievement and demonstrate a commitment and level of expertise in the discipline studied. At Freesoles Dance we offer educational and vocational qualifications at all levels and have something to suit everyone but not all children will take the same exams or at the same time because we believe in only entering children for exams we know are right for them. There is no escaping though that exams are hard work, require commitment, attention and perseverance and so children need as much practice and support as possible which is why we also run mock exam sessions and exam practice days to allow children to orientate themselves and become familiar with live dance exam etiquette and to be well prepared. We love everyone to be confident, happy and capable on exam day, Our next whole school exam session is planned for 22nd June 2025.
At Freeeoles Dance we understand the importance of giving young dancers a breadth of opportunity and experiences and are keen to bring as many dance styles to our students as possible. In the past we have hosted workshops by the prestigious Northern ballet based on Beauty and the Beast and The Ugly Duckling and hosted an evening of Freestyle dance (at no additional charge) for all students across all disciplines age 6 and upwards. Keep your eyes open for 2025 workshops which will be announced soon. At Freesoles we run external workshops for our students each year and these are always really popular events that bring excitement and inspiration to our students.
Workshops
Last year we will be held a school photo week during regular class times to get stylish and individual photos of our students, individually, with friends and in class groups. Everyone loves to have dance class memories and photos with their friends and we want all our students to always look back on their time at Freesoles Dance with fond memories and with great reminders. These class photos may also be nice for family members for a Christmas card or holiday family news letter. We will make sure we have photos available all year of shows and events for families. Photos form our last whole school show, Freesoles Presents Alice are currently on Sale to remind us all of that fabulous day on stage!
Shows
Our next school show will be 'Freesoles - The Magic Within". This will show at Parkway Theatre on the 25th January 2026 at 5.30pm. Tickets go on sale from the 23rd November 2025! Our whole school shows include all groups (apart from baby boogie) including adult classes. This show will be an extravaganza of everything magical and fantasy brough to the stage with oooooddles of glitter, fizz and imagination. Our annual sows always cause excitement in the school and we can not wait to show you what we are working on for next year.

school events for children....
Our school watching week is a great opportunity for parents and carers to come in and see what we are doing in the school. This terms watching week falls just before a performance event and competition for our older students and in in the run up to exams for our younger dancers so we are super excited to show you what we have been working on. We love to see parents and carers in our school and want you to have every opportunity to see what we do and ask questions and be involved.
school events for adults ...
Dance with a grown up day is a great opportunity to try a snippet of class and see inside our school. We want all our families to feel at home in our space and aware of what is going on in the school and what better way to achieve this than to come in for a dance and a giggle yourselves!
Our children's themed days are always a huge success at Freesoles with dress up, games, sweets, crafts and fun so this year we have created an event also for our adults. Open to adult dancers across all classes and also to the parents and carers of children within the Freesoles Community this workshop promises to be an absolute delight full of laughter and enjoyment. Keep your eyes open for a date. This event will run in summer!
