19th September to 12th December: five separate creative dance classes every Saturday for children aged 2 - 11 years, led by Robyn and Olly.

Our fun, creative and interactive dance classes in the beautiful historic studios of Chisenhale Dance Space provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to explore movement and express themselves.

What Chiskids parents have to say about our dance classes:

" GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! We can't wait to sign up for next term!"

"Wonderful teachers. Beautiful happy environment."

"Lots of confidence. Has so much fun. It is her favourite class - she's learning all the different ways in which she can move her body."

"It's our Saturday morning ritual. A lovely time together to move, connect, have fun and do something creative while listening to great tunes!"

Five separate classes take place every Saturday:

09:15 - 10:00 Mini movers, ages 2-3 with parents / carers

09:15 - 10:00 Wiggle On, ages 3-4 with parents / carers

10:10 - 10:50 Leaps & Strides, ages 4-5

You can choose the class that fits your child / children via the relevant link once you click on 'book'.

Dates. Term starts on Saturday 19th December and runs for 12 weeks, with no classes on Saturday 31st October for half term. The last class of term is on Saturday 12th December, when parents are invited to join us in the studio for 'watching week'.

Pricing. The cost for the 12 week term for Mini Movers, Wiggle On, Leaps & Strides and Rise Up is £144 plus the eventbrite service fee. This equates to £12 per class. Lift Off is a slightly longer class and costs £14 per session, or £168 for the full term. Once term has begun, there may be limited spaces available at a cost based on the number of weeks remaining.

Taster class. During the first two weeks of term you can book a one-off taster session for £12 (plus eventbrite fee) for any of the classes. This will be deducted from your termly fee if you decide to join us for the rest of term, and we will send you bank transfer details for the rest of term to avoid another eventbrite fee.

We offer a sibling discount of 20% off the total cost if you have more than one child coming to our classes. To access this option, use the 'free' rebook tickets and we will contact you with bank transfer details and the relevant amount.

Re-booking payment via bank transfer. If your child is registered for the Summer term 2026 in any of our classes, you can avoid the eventbrite fee by booking a 'free' rebook ticket. This is because we already have your child's details on our system. Choose the relevant 'rebook' ticket and pay us the correct amount via bank transfer (details will have been sent to you). This also applies if you've already booked a taster session and are ready to book for the rest of term.

Low income discount. We aim for our classes to be as accessible and inclusive as possible for the community, and have a limited number of 40% reduced places for low income families. If cost is a barrier, please get in touch with us directly to request a bursary: chiskidsdance@gmail.com

Mini Movers 09:15 - 10am, 2-3 years with a parent / carer, performance studio, gives you the chance to discover the joy of movement alongside your little one. You will roll, skip, and hop through creative exercises and stories designed to inspire children to use their imagination and get moving. Teacher Robyn encourages both you and your child to express yourself and have fun dancing as a team!

Wiggle On 9:15 - 10am, 3-4 years with a parent / carer (research studio) is a stepping stone between our Mini-Movers and Leaps & Strides classes. Children and their adults dance together – a chance for you and your child to explore movement in a friendly, intimate setting – all while encouraging independent exploration to prepare your child to join a class without an adult. Join Olly as you jump, balance, roll and spin through storytelling and adventures to make movement fun.

Leaps & Strides 10:10 - 10:50, 4-5 years (performance studio) will encourage your little ones to express themselves freely through movement. Children attend this class without an adult, and Robyn and Olly create a safe and nurturing environment for them to explore dance and movement independently for the first time. Your child will learn new moves and dynamics, based on a different theme each week, and even learn short movement phrases, developing key skills through movement play.

Rise Up 11:00 - 11:45 , 6-7 years (performance studio) builds on the foundations of Leaps & Strides (4-5 years). Your child will get the chance to experience more challenging movement ideas, working as a group and with partners and building strength and flexibility by learning more complex movement phrases. Robyn and Olly celebrate your child’s imagination even further through story-telling and improvisation. This is a great class for your child to
