Cirencester families looking for children's dance classes sometimes travel to our Fairford venue, about 15 minutes east on the A417. We offer RAD ballet, Dance Explorers and creative movement on Saturday mornings in small groups with qualified, DBS-checked teachers. Cirencester has dance schools of its own, and we are honest that families who come to us from the town tend to do so because the class sizes and teaching approach are different to what they found locally.

Cirencester is the largest town in the Cotswolds and has plenty of children's activities. Families who make the journey to Fairford for our classes usually do so because they want something more individual than a larger commercial school provides. Small classes, teachers who know each child well, and a proper syllabus with clear progression. The A417 to Fairford is a straightforward 15-minute drive through Gloucestershire countryside.

Yes. Intune Dance at Fairford Community Centre offers RAD-certified ballet on Saturday mornings, around 15 minutes from Cirencester via the A417. We also offer street dance and pre-school Dance Explorers. Ages 2½ to 11, £10 trial.
Why do some Cirencester families choose Intune over local dance schools?
