Creating strong technique with a caring friendly approach
Learn with us! Dance School in Hessle for 32 years!
We teach strong technique with a caring, friendly approach
About Us
We have been in business since 1992, when we were known as Lyndels Dancing Club. We offer lessons to children from age 3 in Ballet and Tap or Street Dance & Freestyle, Ballroom & Latin American and from age 6 in Musical Theatre or Contemporary Modern Jazz.
We believe that children learn best when they are happy and supported, through play when younger, and clear instruction on technique, coupled with friendly and understanding teachers as they grow.
Our principle is 'Miss Louise' Dell L.I.D.T.A L.U.K.A
Miss Louise has over 30 years experience as a teacher and was also an examiner with the UKA, where she was part of a team which overhauled their grades system, working with the CDET.
Now we use both the IDTA and NPAA syllabi which have been beautifully designed and updated, suiting our classes and ethos perfectly
Exams, Medal tests and Awards
We follow the IDTA and NPAA syllabi in all subjects. We offer regular opportunities to take exams and awards with both associations, giving us a wide selection of work and exams to suit all ages and abilities.
Exams can be taken from age 3, starting with Rosette Awards (IDTA) or Jungle jigglers (NPAA)- both specially designed syllabi for young beginners
From here, our dancers move on to Grades (Ballet, Tap, Contemporary Modern Jazz) or Performance awards (All Subjects)
We are a professional school and as such, we do expect our pupils to take exams. Rosettes and Jungle Jigglers are optional, but a fantastic introduction into the world of dance exams. After this, the exams are simply the best way of reinforcing what we teach in lesson, together with learning about presenting themselves, self discipline, healthy competition, and of course, just rewards for hard work!
Showtime!
We do a full show, involving the whole school, once every 2 years - to allow time for your dancer to grow and advance in between major shows. However, we do plenty of smaller shows, involving smaller numbers of performers, and take part in displays at various venues, such as Hessle Feast
Uniform
We do have uniform for every class, which we expect our pupils to wear - BUT this can be as cheap as a branded T shirt (from £6.50 new) or leotard and skirt for ballet (from £10 new) We also keep a large stock of preloved items as children tend to outgrow dance items much quicker than their uniforms wear out!
We do NOT expect you to buy uniform straight away - sometime in the 1st couple of months is fine - we prefer your dancers to be sure they want to continue before you invest!
Our Payment Terms
We always offer a FREE trial for new starters, or current pupils trying a new style.
After this, week ask for payment to be made weekly for the first month, either in cash or by bank transfer.
Following this, we move to payment by monthly standing order for 11 months each academic year, with no payment due in August, calculated by us, to be averaged each month so your budget is clear and easy. Standing orders are much easier for you to retain control over your money, and are easily changed to allow for new classes taken up, or subjects to be dropped where
