This is where their dancing really starts to grow.
Between 7 and 10, children are ready to take the skills they have already discovered and begin developing real technique, musicality, coordination and performance confidence.
At Artists In Motion, that development still happens in a friendly and encouraging environment. Some children join us with previous dance experience, while others walk into a dance studio for the first time at seven, eight, nine or ten. Both are welcome.
Children can explore different dance styles, work towards new skills, take part in performances and examinations where appropriate, and begin discovering the types of dance they genuinely enjoy.
A place to feel part of something.
Juniors are becoming more independent, but joining a new group can still feel like a big step. Our teachers help new students settle in, get to know the people around them and progress at a pace that feels achievable.

Dance teaches much more than steps. At this age children are learning how to practise, listen, work with others, respond to feedback and recognise their own progress.
Some Juniors love examinations and performing. Others simply want an activity they enjoy each week. AIM provides room for both, with structured teaching and clear progression without losing the enjoyment of dance.
Age-appropriate teaching that develops skills gradually and safely.

Questions parents often ask
A few useful things to know before your child joins a Junior dance class at Artists In Motion.

No. Children can join AIM as complete beginners as well as with previous dance experience. Tell our team your child's age, interests and any previous classes when you enquire, and we can help identify an appropriate starting point.

Comfortable clothing that allows your child to move freely is a good starting point. Once your child has settled into their class, the AIM team can advise you about the appropriate uniform and footwear.
Which dance style should my child choose?
There is no single right answer. Some children immediately know they love Ballet, Tap or Street, while others enjoy trying different styles. Tell us what your child enjoys and we can suggest suitable options.
