Dance Classes for 5 to 7 year olds in woking, surrey

Some children really want to start a new activity but sometimes are worried that they won’t know anyone or make new friends.

We have a buddy up system at LESTA where they will feel instantly welcome as they are guided through their first trial lessons.

They will make friends before you know it and will feel part of our dance family within no time!
"This is such a great dance school- my daughter’s technique has improved so much since joining. The teachers are fantastic, very knowledgeable and encouraging. Lockdown lessons have been amazing- still able to make progress and prepare for exams!"
