Rita Barker School of Dance & Theatre Arts is based at The Dance Workshop in Moseley Birmingham. Classes are available for children from 4 years upward in many different styles of dance. All children's classes run during term time only.
At the Dance Workshop we offer introductory classes for children between the ages of 4-6. At this age we combine ballet, tap and Jazz so that the children may experience the different styles of dance and then choose their preferences as they get a bit older and move up into the grades.
