Saturday Graded Classes
Ballet -Tap - Contemporary - Street
WELCOME!
Rita Barker School of Dance was established in 1980- originally in Acocks Green until 1995 when the school moved to Moseley. Many of our former students have gone on to performing arts schools and Dance college over the years. Some went on to teach dance themselves in both schools and colleges. We enter children into examinations twice yearly through International Dance Teachers Association.
We start our classes from 4 years in ballet and tap and we run classes for older students who wish to further their skills and techniques in ballet, tap and contemporary. Graded classes are on Saturday mornings. Our classes are kept small so we can provide proper attention to every student and bring out the best in each one.
INTRODUCING DANCE for 4 yrs + 9.00 am Saturdays
Our Introducing dance class includes BALLET, TAP AND CREATIVE DANCE at a very simple level.
In this class the children can try out at ballet, tap and creative dance. Usually, after they have attended for a while, they know which type of dance appeals to them the most. The approach is very simple and lots of fun while learning the discipline and etiquette of the dance class
We are taking applications for April 2024 from now.
Classes run in school term times
