Choosing a Dance School

How to Choose a Dance School for Your Child

Choosing the right dance school for your child is a big decision. You want a place that’s safe, professional, and inspiring, where your child can develop strong skills, build confidence, and enjoy every moment of learning. With so many options available, it can be hard to know what to look for. Here’s a guide for parents—and why Leap Dance Midlands meets all the criteria.

1️⃣ Look for Qualified and Experienced Teachers

The quality of teaching is the most important factor in a child’s dance education. Make sure the teacher is fully qualified with recognised dance certifications and has experience teaching children of all ages and abilities.

At Leap Dance Midlands, our Principal, Elaine Tomlinson, is a Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) teacher, holding the Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies (CBTS). She has over 20 years of experience teaching both children and adults and has extensive expertise supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEND) and mental health needs. Elaine’s combination of professional dance training and educational experience ensures your child learns from someone who understands both technique and child development.

Our wider team brings even more expertise to the studio. We have an upcoming dance graduate and a professional industry performer with decades of experience in dance performance and theatre, offering students the chance to learn from professionals who know what it takes to perform at the highest levels. 🎭

2️⃣ Ensure the School is Safe, Inclusive, and Supportive 🛡️

Safety should always come first. Teachers should be DBS checked, insured, trained in safeguarding, and first aid certified. They should also understand the unique needs of children, including those with SEND or mental health considerations.

Leap Dance Midlands has created a welcoming, inclusive community where every child feels supported. Safety, respect, and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do, so parents can feel confident leaving their child in our care. 🤝

3️⃣ Offer a Wide Range of Dance Styles 💃

Exposure to multiple dance styles gives children the best foundation for technique, creativity, and performance skills. Look for schools that offer more than one style and have a progressive syllabus to encourage development.

At Leap Dance Midlands, we offer:

Ballet – Following the RAD syllabus, recognised worldwide for excellence in classical technique.
Tap, Modern, and Musical Theatre – Using the ISTD syllabus to ensure modern, up-to-date teaching.
Acrobatic Gymnastics– Taught through Acrobatic Arts, a progressional syllabus designed to train dancers safely and effectively.

These programs are carefully structured so children can progress at their own pace, reduce the risk of injury, and enjoy a variety of dance experiences. ✨

4️⃣ Continuous Professional Development 📚

A great dance school stays up-to-date with teaching methods, child development, and dance trends.

Elaine and her team regularly attend accredited workshops, CPD courses, and professional training, including Rosina Andrews method leaps and turns courses, National Dance Conferences, participating in training and workshops by leading choreographers and teachers and attending dance events including Can You Dance to learn, stay current and develop.

This ensures that every class is current, innovative, and engaging, giving students the best possible dance education. 🩰

5️⃣ Build Confidence in a Positive Community 🌟

The best dance schools are more than just classes—they are communities where children feel inspired, confident, and supported.

At Leap Dance Midlands, we focus on nurturing self-esteem, resilience, and a love of dance. Our inclusive approach means children are encouraged to try new styles, perform, and develop not only technical skills but also personal growth. Adults joining our classes also benefit from a supportive, gentle environment that promotes health, wellbeing, and confidence. 💖

Why Leap Dance Midlands is the Right Choice ✅

When you choose Leap Dance Midlands, you’re choosing:

A highly qualified Principal with over 20 years of experience and expertise in SEND and mental health.
A team of skilled professionals, including a degree-qualified dance teacher and a seasoned industry performer.
A safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for all children.
Access to a broad, high-quality syllabus in ballet, tap, modern, musical theatre, and acrodance.

This variety keeps classes exciting while helping children develop performance skills across different disciplines.

Inspired by Theatre and Musicals

We love exploring the shows and characters that inspire our students.

Recent performance pieces have included High School Musical and Annie, while we’ve also explored themes, characters and performance styles inspired by Wicked, Nativity, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and other musicals loved by our students.

These familiar stories help children connect with performance through characters they already know and enjoy, while developing their understanding of storytelling, emotion and stagecraft.

Opportunities to Perform

One of the highlights of our Drama, Theatre & Performing Arts classes is the opportunity to perform in front of an audience.

Students work towards performances in our:

❄️ Winter Showcase

☀️ Summer Shows

Performing is a fantastic way to build confidence, celebrate achievements and create special memories with friends and family.

Building Confidence for Life

While performing is an important part of our classes, the benefits go far beyond the stage.

Drama, theatre and performing arts help children develop:

Confidence and self-belief
Communication skills
Creativity and imagination
Resilience
Teamwork
Social skills
Self-expression

Many parents tell us they notice the difference not only in performances but also at school, with presentations, friendships and everyday confidence.

Charity Fundraising in 2024 and into 2025 at Leap Dance

Leap Dance Midlands: Spreading Joy through Charity Fundraisers

At Leap Dance Midlands, we believe that dance is not only a way to inspire creativity and confidence in children but also a means to bring communities together and give back to those in need. Over the past year, our dance school has proudly supported several local charities, making a difference to the lives of many in our communities.

May Family Fun Day for Hannah’s Hope

In May we opened our doors and welcomed our families, their friends and the local community to raise funds for Hannah’s Hope. A local respite lodge for children and young people with cancer at Mercia Marina. The children entertained the crowds and we welcomed local businesses to come and join the fun whilst raising money for a good cause.

Supporting Burton HOPE: Halloween Fun with a Purpose

This Halloween, we hosted a spooky-themed party filled with costumes, games, and laughter. As part of the event, we collected donations for Burton HOPE, a local charity dedicated to helping homeless individuals and those in crisis. The generosity of our families was overwhelming, and the event successfully raised awareness and resources for this important cause.

Food Drive Success: Pyjama Party with a Purpose

Our “Bring a Friend and Dress Up in Pyjamas” day turned into a heartwarming act of kindness. Families contributed approximately eight bags of food, which were also donated to Burton HOPE. The children loved the fun-filled classes while learning the value of helping others.

Christmas Cheer for The Young Ones

The festive season brought even more opportunities to give back. Our Christmas Disco was dedicated to supporting The Young Ones, a local charity aiding safeguarded children. In addition to a joyful dance celebration, we collected toys and clothes for children who needed them most. Thank you to all our families who supported these fundraisers, we really appreciate you.

Etwall Preschool Christmas Party

Our outreach extended to younger children as well, with a special Christmas party at Etwall Preschool led by Elaine. The preschool’s generous donation was also passed along to Burton HOPE who were very grateful.
