Embracing what makes us unique!
Every child is different. They develop at different rates, learn in different styles, and communicate in different ways. At Atomic Dance, your child's differences will be seen as their strengths! We will meet them where they are and adapt our teaching methods to suit their situation. We love to embrace the unique qualities of our students and encourage them to develop a voice through their dance style. We believe that with a little patience, kindness and care every child can love to dance.
Our Values
CONFIDENCE
The main and core value at Atomic Dance, we strive to help students build confidence in every class. They will have a safe, nurturing space to explore their dance ability whilst getting quality dance training. If you have ever suffered from a lack of confidence, anxiety or low self esteem, you will know how debilitating it can be. We never want students to feel that they are not good enough and encourage every student to be themselves. Atomic Dance classes build confidence in a variety of areas.
Confidence in...
CREATIVITY
When children are young, they have bundles of creativity and the confidence to suggest ideas and try something new. We believe this is a special gift that needs to be supported. Our programs have dedicated sections for fun, creative challenges to inspire students to create, improvise and choreograph. We follow the child and help them to develop their ideas into something wonderful.
INDIVIUALITY
No two children are the same. They learn in different ways and develop at different speeds. Students are encouraged to see their unique qualities as their strengths, not comparative to other students. We encourage students to focus on their own development whilst supporting the progress of their friends in class.
PERFORMANCE
We provide a variety of performance opportunities through the year to allow students to fall in love with performing. These include:
- Termly Watching Weeks: Parents are invited into class to watch part of their class
- Mini performances in class so students can get comfortable performing in front of their peers
- Annual Showcase: The whole Academy comes together every year for a show like no other! Costumes, lighting and a whole lot of fun included!
- Local Fetes and performances: Our summer term in dedicated to performance, there are lots of local events that we get invited to perform at and all students are invited.
Does your child hate performing?
That's ok! Every single performance opportunity at Atomic Dance, whether that be watching week, showing something to your class or our annual show, are completely optional. We promise that will never ask your child to do something they are not comfortable doing. (Saying no is sometimes more brave than doing something you don't want to do!)
You may find that your child hates performing but loves our classes, then one day they decide to try and fall in love with it! Or they prefer to watch and this is 100% ok. We follow your child and give them the tools to be the master of their own success.
TECHNIQUE
Whilst Atomic Dance classes are all about fun, we work hard! Classes have a strong focus on correct and SAFE dance technique to look after students bodies and minds. With us your child will receive a quality dance education from qualified teachers whilst remembering the main reason we choose to dance, FUN!
OUR TEAM
I started Atomic Dance in 2018 with the vision of bringing a new, innovative dance experience to children. Our understanding of how children develop is changing, as should our teaching methods...
