Activities
Our brand new ‘Dance Mash-up’ classes are designed to keep children active and having great fun at the same time. These dance classes are currently live in our Bracknell, Cambridge, Wandsworth and Walton-on-Thames clubs.
Children will master the dance moves from a mix of genres! From Musical Theatre and Salsa to Hip Hop and Lyrical Dance. The classes will help increase their confidence and encourage your child to make friends too. Dancers will have a blast learning a particular dance style for 6 – 8 weeks to really hone movements and skills before performing the learnt routines to parents every half-term during our Show Week.
Our classes are perfect for children of all abilities. Dance Mash-Up has been designed by renowned dance choreographer, Rachel, who has danced with stars like Kylie Minogue, Spice Girls, Robbie Williams and Girls Aloud.

We’ve worked with a leading choreographer and child activity enthusiast Rachel to create our Dance classes. Rachel has danced internationally with legends including Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue & Craig David and has been teaching dance for over two decades. When it comes to children’s dance choreography and having fun, there is nobody better than Rachel.
This programme was designed by professional dance choreographer, Rachel Bullen, who has over 20 year’s experience working with children and knows how to get them moving in the most fun way possible!
We wanted to make sure it was a class for all so suitable for all abilities, regardless of previous dance experience. New fresh routines and styles are introduced every term ensuring children are consistently learning and developing with the emphasis clearly entrenched in the ‘fun’ element.
As the children progress, they will be taught choreographed dance routines appropriate for their age and abilities which we are sure they will want to show you at home! Children are encouraged to work together and make new friends, explore their own creativity and try new moves to master.
Not all children want to take grades and can’t always focus on the disciplines of strict dance lessons, and Rachel firmly believes ‘dance is for all’ and should be available to everyone of every ability. Every child in the class is made to feel proud and that they are fantastic movers and groovers!
Dance choreographer, Rachel, created our Dance ‘Mash Up’ classes as a way for children to explore dance with a ‘party/holiday disco’ feel making them fun, enjoyable and rewarding with easy-to-grasp repetitive choreography.
This not only gives children a great sense of achievement as they quickly learn the moves but encapsulates so many other important benefits such as:
With one in five children in the UK suffering from obesity issues, regular exercise that focuses on fun is paramount! Dance Mash-Up is low-impact and high-energy fun, designed with children’s health and well-being in mind.
Like all aerobic exercises, the benefits are also felt long after the class has finished, including soaring endorphins that will make the kids excited for their next class! The Dance Mash-Up classes are extremely social which can really help with your child’s self-confidence. And regular dancing with steady practice can help improve cognitive learning.
Both mastering a sequence of dance steps and repeating them improves concentration, not forgetting the incredible sense of achievement when the routine is memorised!

Our dance classes are 60 minutes long, but we always give the children plenty of opportunities to stop for water, or for a longer break if required.
All our dance instructors have years of dance experience under their belts and have taken part in a wide variety of dance activities from a young age. They have a true passion for dance and absolutely love helping children get active through Dance Mash-Up!
Our dance studios are well ventilated, so the children are kept at a comfortable temperature with plenty of air moving around. At the end of the day, our dance rooms are mopped and cleaned thoroughly to ensure it’s as hygienic as possible.
We have one instructor per class and can have between 10 and 15 kids per class, depending on the club location and the size of the dance studio. The children learn the routines step-by-step as a class.
Once the basics are in place, due to the small size of the class, our instructor is then able to provide individual instructions and direction to any kids who need a helping hand with the moves!
Yes, we offer FREE taster sessions for our Dance classes across all three clubs that offer the activity! Please head to the timetable of your club of choice (link to the timetables) and book a taster (availability applies).
Dancers learn a particular dance style for 6 – 8 weeks before performing the learnt routines to parents every half-term during our Show Week.
We don’t currently have an award scheme for Dance Mash-Up. Our dance classes are focused on having fun, getting bodies moving and improving children’s concentration, self-confidence and listening skills.
