Age 6
Ballet and tap
A first barre, a first pair of tap shoes and a short combination to learn.
Half the class is ballet: positions of the feet and arms, walking tall and a few steps across the floor. Half is tap: a shuffle, a stamp and a rhythm to clap back. Grown-ups wait in the lobby, and Nahla leads this class.

What a class is like
- 01
At the barre
Dancers find first position, hold the barre and practice a plié together, slowly and with the music.
- 02
Across the floor
Walking, skipping and a simple turn across the floor in a line, one at a time and all together.
- 03
Tap rhythms
A shuffle, a stamp and a clap-back game on the wooden floor, in tap shoes.
- 04
A short combination
A short routine to learn, step by step, and show to the class to finish.
What to wear and bring
A leotard or a plain top with leggings or a skirt, with ballet slippers. Tap shoes are bought after the first few classes, and we will tell you which kind.
Hair up and off the neck
A water bottle with a closing lid
