Saturday mornings in Knaphill are a favourite starting point for families from Woking, Bisley and Brookwood. Parking is on the doorstep, and the half-hour is paced for little attention spans.

When they are ready, children aged 4 to 5 step into First Ballet, Modern & Tap - still with Melody Bear, with a little more technique.
