Classes at KLM School of Dance
​At KLM School of Dance, we have 2 levels of classes:
Core Classes
Additional Classes
​
Additional Classes: These are advanced classes and are the lessons that create our higher level dancers.
They are subject specific, so teach one genre for an hour, within that hour they delve deeper into their knowledge, understanding and performance of said genre. Each class is tailored to push and mould our dancers for those who have a specific interest in one or more genres, allowing time to express their interest and learn, they also access special awards under MASD that are accessible outside of the MASD syllabi whilst, also working with them to grow and improve.
These classes have compulsory examination and show work opportunities too, so any dancers that take our Additional Classes, have the opportunity to perform in more routines in the stage, meaning more stage time!
Simply contact us via this website or the social media's of KLM, reference your child's name, what class they already attend and what class they are interested in undertaking.
