parents viewing classes
Parents are welcome to view classes but I ask parents to not talk during the lesson time. We are fortunate to have a lounge area, playground and sheltered outdoor space so if you wish to talk or have siblings with you please use these alternative spaces. It’s just too distracting for the students and I so I will be enforcing this
Presentation
Please make sure your child comes to dancing with their uniform, hair done neatly, and a drink bottle.
philosophy
At Jane Pascoe Movement, we nurture children’s love of dance in a supportive environment and promote good posture, poise, strength and creativity while striving to develop confident, kind and self-assured individuals. Co-operation, positive attitudes and kindness are key at our place and use of these will be celebrated!
studio location
Presbyterian Hall - 271 Songer Street - Stoke
