TIDDLYTW's creative dance

TiddlyTW’s is the perfect pace for any little mover or performer who wants to explore their creative side. TiddlyTW’s Creative Play class is a hugely beneficial way to encourage creativity, motor skill development, independent thought, confidence building, musicality, teamwork, and initial understanding of ‘class etiquette’. By using music, storytelling, basic technique and fun structure, the youngest students find their feet in a mixed class of dance and song exploring new challenges in a fun and safe environment. What better way to start your child’s performing journey than with this fun, exiting and dynamic creative class.

Commercial

Commercial is known to be a highly choreographed dance form. Drawing upon both jazz technique and commercial dance this class looks at fast-paced technical movements from jazz and theatre dance but also urban styles which are familiar within music videos. This class is dynamic, powerful and will build strength and coordination working to some fab music!

Ballet

Ballet classes are an exciting way to develop technical skills within dance. Ballet classes at TWPA start at aged 3-19. These structured classes develop students’ physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression, and musicality using a range of movements and musical styles. Ballet is an excellent grounding to support many dance techniques and TWPA ballet classes are supportive and enjoyable for all.

Conditioning for
Dance

All students (other than TiddlyTW’s) enrolled at TWPA have to participate within a conditioning for dance classes on Saturdays. This is so we can optimise our class time delving into lots of basic principles regarding technique. Furthermore, body conditioning is a fantastic way to support dance training but also develops strength, fitness, flexibility, and coordination. This is a fun class where students will learn how to prepare their bodies for dance but will help aid their dance training from many perspectives.

contemporary

Energising sessions for all abilities in contemporary dance technique for students aged 6-19. The class includes exercises and sequences to develop physical awareness, movement flow, co-ordination, mobility, movement memory, agility, balance, core strength and broaden your technical skill. Students will learn a blend of both Cunningham and release-based techniques. Soon TWPA will be offering training in Rambert grades a new and empowering syllabus for learning contemporary technique.

Jazz

Our jazz program at TWPA is designed to give dancers the perfect balance of strong technical foundations and vibrant performance skills. In Jazz Technique, students focus on developing strength, flexibility, precision, and style through structured exercises, across-the-floor progressions, and technical drills. These classes build the essential skills that underpin all forms of jazz dance, helping dancers grow in confidence and control. In Jazz Performance, we take these technical foundations and bring them to life on stage. Students learn dynamic routines that emphasise expression, stagecraft, and storytelling—preparing them to perform with energy, confidence, and flair. Together, our jazz classes create well-rounded, versatile dancers who can combine technique with artistry both in the studio and in performance.

ACRO

ACRO dance classes at TWPA seamlessly blend dance and acrobatics. Students practice fundamental acrobatic techniques and skills such as handstands, cartwheels, back bends, walkovers chin stands, elbow stands, balance, and contortion tricks depending on individual level of experience. Advance ACRO classes involve advanced techniques such as diving walkovers, front aerials, and side aerials. Students can join ACRO from ages 3-19 years old.

POINTE WORK

Our dedicated pointe classes are designed to ensure students develop the strength, technique, and artistry needed to dance en pointe safely and confidently. Entry into pointe work is carefully assessed by Tom, who only introduces students once their demi-pointe technique is strong and secure. In the Beginner Pointe sessions, dancers focus on correct alignment, strength, and safe technique—working primarily at the barre to build a solid foundation. Through carefully structured exercises, students develop control, articulation, and confidence in their pointe shoes. As dancers progress, the Advanced Pointe sessions expand on this foundation, guiding students towards dancing fully en pointe with greater freedom and expression. These classes introduce choreography away from the barre, combining strength with artistry to refine performance skills at a higher level.
