Jazz Dance

Jazz Dance for Children –

Confidence, Creativity, and Fun in Every Step

 

At Ridgeway Theatre School, Jazz Dance is the perfect way for children to grow in confidence, creativity, and energy. Designed for boys and girls from age three upwards, our classes blend strong technical foundations with lively routines, giving every child the chance to shine.

 

Building Strong Foundations

 

Children learn posture, strength, and expressive movement through jazz routines rooted in ballet technique. Younger students enjoy playful, energetic classes that spark imagination, while older children explore stylish commercial jazz seen in stage productions and music videos. This progression ensures that every child develops at their own pace, building resilience and versatility along the way.

 

 

Dance to the Music They Love

 

Classes are set to upbeat chart hits and exciting tracks, choreographed by professional teachers with industry experience. Every session feels like a performance, helping children connect with music they love while mastering technique and rhythm.

Confidence, Teamwork & Creativity

 

Our Jazz Dance programme is designed to nurture confidence, teamwork, and self‑expression. Whether a child is a complete beginner or already has dance experience, each class combines structured training with a supportive, fun atmosphere. Students make friends, learn to collaborate, and discover the joy of dance in a safe, welcoming environment.

Why Ridgeway Stands Out

 

•  Expert teachers with professional industry experience

•  A curriculum blending technique, creativity, and commercial style

•  Age‑specific tailoring for younger and older children

•  A supportive environment for all abilities

•  Opportunities to perform in Ridgeway productions and progress through ISTD exams

•  Pathways into Ridgeway’s wider programmes, including musical theatre, acting, and agency representation

•  Holiday workshops, summer schools, and masterclasses with West End professionals

•  Alumni success stories: Ridgeway graduates progressing to drama schools, conservatoires, and professional careers

 

At Ridgeway Theatre School, Jazz Dance is more than just a class — it’s a chance for children to shine on stage, build lifelong confidence, and enjoy the thrill of dance in a vibrant community.
