Dance Classes for Families in Stow-on-the-Wold

Stow-on-the-Wold is about 20 minutes from our Chipping Norton classes via the A436 and A44. We run RAD ballet, street dance and Dance Explorers on Saturday mornings for children aged 2½ to 11, and families from Stow and across the north Cotswolds make that journey regularly. A £10 trial is available with no commitment, so it is easy to see whether we are a good fit before signing up.

Stow is a busy Cotswold market town with good road connections, and families here often look further afield for specialist children's activities. RAD-certified ballet alongside street dance and pre-school creative movement in genuinely small classes is not something you will find locally, which is why the 20-minute drive to Chipping Norton tends to be worth it for families from this part of the Cotswolds.

What is RAD ballet and why does it matter for my child?

RAD stands for the Royal Academy of Dance, the UK's most widely recognised ballet education body. Teaching the RAD syllabus means your child follows a structured, internationally recognised programme with clear progression and the option to take graded exams. At Intune we teach it in a warm, child-centred way where enjoyment comes first.

Can shy or hesitant children manage dance classes?

Yes, and many of our most enthusiastic pupils were the most hesitant on day one. Our teachers are experienced at helping anxious children settle, and the small class sizes mean no child gets lost. We also have a blog post about helping shy children in dance classes if you would like to read more before coming.
