What we'll do
Our sessions run for 1 hour and follow a monthly rotation, exploring a variety of dance styles. Week 1 focuses on hip hop and commercial, week 2 on jazz, week 3 on contemporary/lyrical, and week 4 introduces a different style each month, allowing participants to experience a wide range of genres. The classes are designed to be inclusive and adaptable, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to professional dancers, with training tailored to suit all ability levels. Each session begins with a 10 minute warm-up, followed by a 10 minute strength and conditioning segment, targeting two muscle groups each week to support overall development. This is followed by 30 minutes of choreography, where participants will learn and refine a routine. The final 10 minutes are dedicated to filming, using our professional in-house lighting and cameras, giving participants high-quality footage to review and support their progress. All classes are led by fully qualified, professional dance instructors. We also regularly invite guest teachers from across the UK to provide additional training opportunities. Our team holds Enhanced DBS checks, Level 2 safeguarding qualifications, and has experience working with neurodivergent individuals.

About your mentor
Highfield Hall Community Association
Bringing us together one step at a time.
At Highfield Hall Community Centre, we are proud to be funded by the National Lottery to offer free dance and fitness classes for the local community. We are committed to inclusivity and diversity, which is reflected in the wide range of dance styles and genres we teach, as well as our efforts to educate the community about dance and its cultural significance. In addition, the centre provides a warm and welcoming space available for private events, alongside hosting open, fun-filled days to celebrate occasions such as Christmas and Easter. Through this project, we aim to bring people together, promoting a healthier, happier, and more connected community.
Terms and Conditions
While our classes are free, they are delivered to a high standard and we expect all participants to show respect for the sessions, instructors, and other attendees. A great deal of time and effort goes into planning each class, and we will not tolerate any misuse of this opportunity. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in removal from future sessions. Behaviour & Participation Children and adults are expected to behave appropriately at all times. Disruptive behaviour or lack of respect during sessions will not be accepted. Booking & Attendance Please only book if you intend to attend, as missed sessions take away opportunities from others. Punctuality is essential; if you arrive more than 5 minutes late, you may not be allowed to join the session. Clothing & Footwear Participants must wear suitable clothing that allows free movement. Leggings and fitted tops are required, and hair must be tied back. Skirts and dresses are not suitable for participation. Trainers must be worn on arrival; however, some activities may require dancing barefoot due to the flooring. Dancing in socks is not permitted. Additional Needs We welcome all everyone; however, we are unable to provide one-to-one support. Our instructors will adapt teaching where possible while ensuring equal attention is given to all participants. Supervision & Safety Parents and guardians are not permitted to supervise sessions. Please be assured that two qualified dance instructors will always be present, and CCTV (including audio) is in operation. Parents are welcome to wait in the café (when open) or in the car park. On selected days, you will be invited to watch and record your child’s progress. Facilities & Preparation Parking and toilet facilities are available. Please ensure you have used the toilet before the session begins, as there will be no time for breaks. Participants should also bring a water bottle. About the Programme While we maintain high teaching standards, we are not currently operating as a formal dance school. We do not offer exams, grades, or competitions at this stage, but hope to expand the programme in the future.
