Welcome to our Children's Dance Classes
Ballet2Ballroom Leicester was founded by Bradley Dance Freelance with the aim of reviving the complementary dance styles of ballet and ballroom. With the expertise of Cheryl Wimperis, who runs Life on Pointe and is trained at The Royal Ballet, we provide children's dance classes that foster bonding and parent-child involvement, especially important in post-pandemic times.
Our soft opening event on December 3rd in Glenfield was a success, inspiring us to bring this community-oriented class style to other areas. Our dance classes offer a myriad of benefits, including improved self-esteem, mood, and attitude, as well as optimal physical, mental, emotional, social, and cardiovascular health.
Through dancing, children can find different pathways to problem-solving, and develop perseverance, self-motivation, discipline, and a positive self-image. In addition, dance is an effective exercise for easing depression and anxiety by releasing certain chemicals in the brain, and provides a healthy escape from negative thought patterns.
Join Ballet2Ballroom and let your child discover the joy of dancing while developing lifelong skills.

Advanced Children's Dance Class
In Advanced Children's Dance Classes at Bradley Dance Freelance, experienced dancers with over eight years of religious dancing are provided with a structured and gradual progression to improve their technique, timing, and choreography skills. With the aim to produce a stylistic and charismatic performance, dancers are taught the finer points of each step and figure, enabling them to develop their awareness and incorporate more energy as a leader to feed their followers.
These classes are suitable for those with goals such as competitive work, exams, or those who wish to convert their feelings into dance and choreography. Previous professional experience in ballet or a similar style would be advantageous as it helps the learner to easily pick up choreography without too much direction.
