Younger Yrs Dance & Theatre

Classes for Kids age 3 to P1 in Edinburgh

Younger Years Dance Programme

DN Ducklings

Our Younger Years Dance Programme offers a platform for all budding performers from age 3 years to P1. It includes Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Street, Acro and Musical Theatre all with the support of our much loved mascot Della Duck! Opportunities include a bi-annual Ducklings Showcase & Class Awards, before flying the nest and graduating into our Junior & Upper School. 

Focus is on developing elementary skills in technique, vocabulary and choreography across the different dance and theatre genres. Students benefit from the different skills picked up in each style and the variety is perfect for the shorter attention span of children in this age group.

Class Descriptions

Ballet & Tap

Dancin’ Ducklings

Ballet & tap are both foundational styles of classical dance and the building blocks for most other dance styles.

This traditional style is much loved by little ones. Often blended into our Ballet & Tap class it gives dancers the opportunity to experience variety.
