The Little Dance Academy

The Little Dance Academy (LDA) offers classes for little ones, aged 18months-7years. Whether your little dancer is finding their feet in Parent & Me, a budding Ballet Bunny, or a funky Bop n’ Bear, they will feel inspired at LDA. The classes are unforgettable, adventurous, bursting with creativity, and their talented teachers will carefully guide your little dancer through their first dancing steps.

Sundays, 1-2pm

DANDANA ARABIC CHOIR

Dandana is an Arabic choir for children aged 5+, using singing and Arabic songs to help children develop their Arabic language skills while enjoying music together. The choir draws on the much-loved repertoire of Ratiba El-Hefny’s Children’s Choir at the Cairo Opera House in Egypt in the 1990s, bringing these songs to a new generation of children in a fun and welcoming environment.

Upcoming Family Shows

Experience the thrill of live performance as a family. Choose from shows that are specifically designed for young children, classics that are suitable for teens and older children, and those that are fun for all the family, such as our ever-popular panto!
