Cottage Road

Two rooms and a front hall

The Tap Room has the boards. The Back Room has the music.

Both rooms have sprung wooden floors and tall windows. Classes are up to 8 for ages 6 to 8, up to 10 for ages 9 to 11 and up to 12 for older dancers and grown-ups. Dancers hang their bags on hooks in the hall, and street shoes stay at the door to keep the floors clear.

  • The Tap Room: a wooden floor made for tap shoes

  • The Back Room: a quieter floor for jazz

  • The front hall: a bench and a window onto the Tap Room

  • Street parking on Cottage Road and a small lot behind the building

A studio with a pale wooden sprung floor, a long barre along one wall and tall windows on the opposite wall

  • Class size

    Classes are up to 8 dancers for ages 6 to 8, up to 10 for ages 9 to 11 and up to 12 for older dancers and grown-ups, so a teacher can see every dancer's feet.

  • Doors and pickup

    A grown-up brings and collects every dancer in the first steps classes, and the teacher hands each dancer to a named grown-up at the door.

  • Rooms and floors

    Both rooms have sprung wooden floors, and the mats, hoops and spare shoes go back in their baskets after class.

  • Telling us things

    Tell us about an injury or a health need before the first class. We ask privately once you register, never on the website form.
