Frequently asked questions
We hold all our classes at Redcatch Community Church on Broad Walk, opposite the entrance to Redcatch Park.
With the exception of Parent + Child classes, RSD classes are drop-off classes, where children learn independently.
We feel this is an important part of their development. It helps children build confidence, independence and a relationship with their teachers as trusted adults.
Every child is different. After more than 40 years of combined teaching experience, we know that some children take to a new class straight away, while others need a little more reassurance.
It can really help to set clear expectations beforehand. For example: "I'll drop you off, wait in the hallway and then I can't wait to hear all about your class afterwards!"
If your child is nervous about coming in, you're welcome to walk them inside and sit briefly at the side while they settle. We do ask that parents don't dance with their child or remain in the room for the whole session, as this can make it harder for them to settle independently and can be confusing for the other children.
If your child is genuinely not ready to join without you, that's absolutely fine. We would much rather their first experience of dance is a positive one, so you're welcome to sit and watch together for a short while before deciding whether they're ready to join independently.
Equally, if your child is confident and happy to come in on their own, we encourage you to wait in the lobby. This helps reassure the other children that being dropped off is safe and completely normal.
And don't worry, you'll get plenty of opportunities to see what they've been learning at our Watching Weeks!
No! Our camps are open to everyone, whether or not they attend our regular dance classes.
Not at all! No previous dance experience is required.
Our camps are designed to be fun, active and welcoming, so children can come along and enjoy themselves whether they're already dancing every week or have never taken a dance class before.
