Our Lessons

At Woodhouse Academy we believe that dance and performing arts are for all ages. So many other schools focus all their attention on children's classes, but we want to offer opportunities to all those who want to take up a new hobby.

 Our aim is to build confidence, improve fitness levels and mental health, and to bring together like-minded people. We want to get you all dancing up the supermarket aisles and singing somewhere other than the shower! Let us share with you the joy that we have found in the performing arts! 

Tap

Classes to suit every level of tapper! From beginners taking their first class to advanced dancers looking for some new work to keep their feet busy.

Join us and we'll soon have you shuffling, maxi-fording and winging your way through the evening!

Jazz

Get fit whilst having fun!

This popular, high-energy style of dance involves combinations of upper-body, core and legwork, and will have you kicking, leaping and spinning your way through a complete mind and body workout!

Irish

An introduction to the basic steps and technique of Irish dancing, with a new routine each term.

Characterised by the rigid upper-body, stiff arms and intricate footwork, Riverdance is a fun way to improve strength and stamina.

Dance the Musicals

With a different routine each term, this fun, energetic class focuses on choreography in the style of popular Broadway and West End Musicals.

Learn to Razzle-Dazzle 'Em like Roxie, Twist like Tracey and Do the Sacred Mass like Deloris!

Ballet

A fun fusion of classical technique, strengthening/toning and dance. Join us for a full body work out and an excellent way to burn off any unwanted pounds!

Classes suitable for all abilities, from the trained ballerina to the beginner who's always fancied giving it a go!

Zumba

Zumba is a total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility. 

Designed for all ages and abilities, Zumba  alternates between fast and slow rhythms for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party!

Strength & Flex

In our Strength & Flex class we follow the Alixa Flexibility syllabus to teach flexibility safely and effectively, with an emphasis on long term health.

We feel strongly that every student, regardless of their age, body shape or ability, should and can experience progression when working with trained flexibility educators.

When done correctly, flexibility promotes body confidence, the ability to move better and helps keep the body pain free.

Commercial

In our commercial class we work on style, technique, posture and performance. We train our dancers to be confident, strong and fierce whilst learning fun dance routines!

We want to instil confidence and boost esteem in all our young dancers, and show them how to put their best foot forward!

Sass Class

Ever wanted to strut your stuff like Beyoncé or harness your inner RuPaul?

We think everyone should feel fabulous in their skin, regardless of age, shape or size. In our Sass Class we work on strength, technique and style in a safe, friendly environment with the aim to boost confidence and esteem – all whilst rocking a great pair of heels!

Our adult class is open to male & female dancers aged 16+. Heels are optional, but encouraged!

Cheer Dance

Join this fun filled, energetic dance style! A great, fun way to get moving whilst making new friends, and the chance to compete in the Tower Ballroom!

Ideal for all ages and abilities - come along and shake your pom poms!

Lyrical

Lyrical dance combines ballet technique with the freedom and musicality of jazz and contemporary, and often includes leaps, turns and floor work. 

Lyrical dance movements are often fluid, continuous and graceful, with an expressive quality.

Street Dance

Street Dance is an umbrella term for a variety of styles including Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, Whacking and Krump. 

Classes and routines can incorporate one or more of these street styles.
