Desire2Dance is a rapidly growing, friendly ISTD Dance school based in Crawley, founded in 2016. We currently offer dance lessons for boys and girls in ISTD Ballet, Modern, Tap and Zumba Kids as well as Adult classes in Ballet, Tap, Zumba and Pilates. We are proud to offer classes by an ISTD Professional teacher who holds a full DBS check, first aid training and insurance, this guarantees your child is in the best possible care whilst they attend our classes.
Your child’s development is important to us, we aim to aid children with their natural developmental skills and turn this into an art which is also fun and enjoyable at the same time. Students can work towards exams in all three styles of dance where they will be supported and guided every step of the way and at the end of it they will have their own personal achievement. This is something as a school we feel very passionate about, especially as dance classes become part of a child’s life, it is always good to have something to show for their commitment.
We are always looking at ways to develop our school so are always on the lookout for performance opportunities and other ways to expand. If you are interested to keep up to date on new classes, please email to sign up for class updates.
Modern Dance
Modern Dance is an energetic dance style. This style is seen in musical productions and can be further developed into more specific styles such as Commercial and Street as students mature. This style works on motor skills such as travelling steps and turns them into dance. It also works on strength and flexibility by using movements such as turns and jumps.
Ballet Dance
Ballet Dance is a very well known style, working on grace and control in one’s movement. This style uses arm positions and varying leg lines to create an effortless image. Ballet technique is an important part to any dancers training. Learning the basis of any dance form and developing the strength and control required in any dance style. Ballet is recommended alongside any other style of dance.
Tap Dance
Tap Dance is another dance form seen in musical productions. A dancer uses their feet to create sounds on the floor. The dancer creates different rhythmical patterns by wearing tap shoes which have metal plates on the ball and heel of the foot. The musicality required for Tap Dance also aids a dancer in their musicality in other dance forms.
