About Pat Sussenbach School of Dance
Why Enrol?
There are many reasons that parents chose to enrol their children in dance classes. It could be for health benefits, to expand their creativity, or simply because they love to dance! With us they will learn many styles and dance techniques, including ballet, tap, modern jazz, acrobatics and lyrical. We also have a good focus on different cultures of dance, so they will learn national dances from other countries too!
However, there are other important lessons that can be learnt in a dance studio. Dance classes can teach a child self-confidence, self-discipline, co-operation skills and creativity. They are also invaluable for developing work and learning skills that will set your child up for success for their entire life.
We can take children from aged 3 and upwards. We teach them new skills, proper dance technique - and have plenty of fun whilst we are at it! It is also a great way for children to make new friends - as well as burn off some of that end of the week energy!
For more information on classes, or to enquire about a free trial day, please email us and we shall be in touch.
