Langley School of Dance

Sydenham High School - Dance Classes

Langley School of Dancing has been successfully teaching ISTD Classical Ballet and Tap Dancing to pupils at Sydenham High Junior School Department for many years.

Children from Reception to Year 6 have had the opportunity to work towards Graded Dance Examinations as well as to regularly participate in Performances and open days.

Pupils are taught the basic ballet and tap positions and movements, along with all the foundations necessary for dance. Ballet aims to encourage grace, poise and good posture, as well as developing strength, fitness and a sense of musicality. Tap is dancing by making rhythm and sounds with your feet. As well as it being great fun it also develops a good sense of rhythm and coordination. Tap dance is one of the most enjoyable forms of recreational dance.

Dance lessons take place in the Junior Department school hall each week, the timetable is as follows.

Tuesday	Wednesday	Friday
3.30pm – 4.15pm Primary Ballet	3.30pm – 4.15pm Primary Ballet	3.30pm – 4.15pm Grade 2 Ballet

Primary Grade children come straight to the school hall at 3.30pm when their academic lessons finish. They are supervised while they change into their ballet/ tap uniform. The lesson begins at 3.45pm and ends at 4.15pm. The children should then be collected from the hall as quickly and as quietly as possible.

Lessons are fun and enjoyable and are taught in a safe and happy environment by the principal of the school Miss Leanne Coverley ISTD DDE, Miss Sophie Tyndall ISTD DDI and Miss Holly Dedman ISTD DDI.

To secure your child’s place, please complete the enrolment form as soon as possible and return to the Junior School office. Uniform lists are also available from the Junior School office.
