What makes Barefoot Dance different?

Barefoot Dance Productions specializes in offering dance classes that are small in size, personalized, with emphasis on technique and maintaining the student’s own creativity.

Contemporary/Modern dance is a dance form that has constantly changed in its style and with what is going on in society. It offers endless opportunities for dancers of all ages to express themselves in dance.

Examinations are available in Ballet and other dance forms. Exams aren't just for children: Barefoot Dance has already had adult ballet students very successfully complete exams at intermediate and senior levels. They have fun, but also have a goal to work towards.
