Our ISTD tap and modern classes introduce rhythm, movement and creativity, and give dancers from age 4 a clear route through the grades.

Most of our children's classes combine tap and modern in one session, so pupils build both styles side by side. Older dancers can also take tap or modern on its own.

Tap (ISTD)

  • Rhythm, timing, coordination and musical awareness
  • Fun, energetic classes with clear technical progression

Modern (ISTD)

  • An expressive and dynamic style
  • Strength, flexibility and performance skills
  • Creativity and confidence

Exams

Tap and modern exams are optional but encouraged. Pupils are entered when their teacher feels they have reached the required standard, and we run dedicated exam and prep classes in the run-up to exams.

What our dancers and families say

In their own words, from our Facebook page.

  • “My daughter has been at MK dance for a few months now and she loves it. The teacher, Kathryn is absolutely fantastic - she makes the class fun but also teaches them the basics of ballet and tap so well. My daughter is 4 and in the youngest class and I can see her getting better week on week. Couldn't recommend it enough!”
