Dancing for children

Dance is currently the fastest growing art form in the country and a fabulous hobbie for children. Dancing develops rhythm, co-ordination, self confidence, as well as achieving exciting awards and keeps us fit, most of all here at Donahey’s it’s great FUN….

Any child can dance regardless of age, shape, size or background and whether or not they have danced before. Dancing has it’s attraction because of the many different styles & rhythms on offer from around the world, here at Donahey’s we strive to teach the children all the latests styles to the most popular music – a fab combination all in one class!

A recent Arts Council survey of over 50,000 year 9 pupils in over 700 schools in the north west showed dance as the top activity for girls outside school. Donahey’s also actively encourages boys to attend our dance classes. For your peace of mind we are Enhanced CRB Police Checked.

Donahey’s teach to IDTA examination standards and have become the UK’s leading Junior Dance Club due to it’s commitment to the children, constantly teaching new dances and it’s emphasis on making the classes fun. So what are you waiting for, get yourself along to one of our great dance classes this week….

There are waiting facilities available at all venues, however we don’t allow mum’s & dad’s to wait in the ballroom where the class takes place as this can be distracting for the children. We have seperate waiting lounge areas.

What shall I wear? Do I need dance shoes?

To start with just wear flat shoes and something comfortable – not flip flops or sandals. If you’re happy at dancing after a couple of weeks we strongly recommend proper Dance shoes with a non-slip sole which can be purchased from Donahey’s and Dancewear shops.

Every 4 months we will enter you for your Dance test and if you are successful you’ll receive awards & certificates.

We also have higher-level classes at the same time so we can choose your exact level and join you into that class. If you’ve taken medal tests before simply bring along your last report and certificate and we will place you in the correct level class.

Do we enter into competitions?

No, we don’t enter any of our pupils into these, we believe dancing should be great fun & affordable. We prefer to specialise in making sure you have a great time at dance classes.
