Dance Classes for Families in Bibury

Bibury and the Coln Valley are about 20 minutes from our Fairford classes via Quenington and the B4425. We run RAD ballet, Dance Explorers and creative movement for children on Saturday mornings, and families from Bibury, Barnsley, Coln St Aldwyns and the surrounding villages are welcome throughout the year. A £10 trial is available whenever you are ready to come.

Bibury is one of the most well-known villages in the Cotswolds, and families in the Coln Valley tend to be thoughtful about the activities they choose for their children. RAD-certified ballet and specialist dance teaching in a genuinely small-group setting is not something available locally, and Fairford is the nearest place to find it. The drive from Bibury takes about 20 minutes through some of the best of the south Cotswolds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there children's dance classes near Bibury?

The nearest Intune Dance classes to Bibury are at Fairford Community Centre, about 20 minutes by car. We offer RAD ballet, pre-school Dance Explorers and creative movement on Saturday mornings for children aged 2½ to 11.

How do I get from Bibury to Intune Dance in Fairford?

From Bibury, head south-east through Coln St Aldwyns or take the B4425 to Quenington, then follow signs to Fairford. The drive takes about 20 minutes. The Fairford Community Centre is on the High Street.

How does Intune approach children who are nervous or shy?

Gently and without pressure. Because our classes are small, shy children do not get overwhelmed by the group, and our teachers are experienced at helping hesitant children settle in at their own pace. Children who were most nervous at their first trial are often the most enthusiastic by their third week. We have a blog post on this if you would like to read more before coming.

Is ballet still relevant for children today?

Yes. Ballet builds physical strength, coordination, posture, musicality and body awareness in ways that benefit children in all kinds of movement and sport. Modern RAD teaching is imaginative and child-centred rather than stiff or old-fashioned, and children who study ballet tend to pick up other dance styles more easily too.
