Under fives and Under 8s Latin & Freestyle
The pupils in our under fives class at our Farnborough Dancentre work towards mini dance exams, based around a simplified version of ballroom, Latin and freestyle work. They take rosette exams under the International Dance Teachers Association (I.D.T.A) and classes use appropriate music to suit the age group. Under fives class is a smaller group of children, and has a high staff ratio to enable support at an appropriate level and pace.
When your child reaches five years of age, they will progress to the under eights class, or depending on the class structure and the ability of the child, these age groups are flexible. The teachers and helpers present in the classes will know your child, and advise you of the dates for rosette examinations, and whether they feel your child is ready for the test.
Parents are very welcome to spectate at these sessions but we ask that you keep external noise to a minimum when the class is running, and that you respect the teachers view in terms of taking examinations and progressing to the next class. We know the test expectations, and we will also know your child in respect of their level of dance.

Friday and Saturday, Ballroom, Latin American
The pupils in our Friday night class at our Farnborough Dancentre range from age 8 to age 16, and learn in freestyle and Latin American grades. The pupils achieve high standards of dance whilst enjoying socialising and having fun through dance.
Friday pupils are encouraged to take part in the annual presentations, and other competitions that we promote within the school, our teachers place importance on high standard of technical dance.
Saturday classes run the same way as Fridays, but include ballroom lessons at all levels and abilities. Saturday pupils work towards examinations and also concentrate more strongly on the competitive side of dance, maybe requesting additional lessons, or workshops to enhance their competitive stance.
Pupils from the Diamond Dancentre are known throughout the country as achieving very high standards within the competitive scene and are currently winners of many individual and team events. Each year the pupils have the opportunity of taking part in many festivals where they are able to represent the south east of England.

Freestyle Classes
Although combined with our Friday and Saturday classes at our Farnborough Dancentre, due to the popularity we now hold a alternative classes at Diamonds in Aldershot.
Freestyle which can apply to numerous dance types and can be defined as any style of dance where the moves are not thought out ahead and where no choreography of the moves occurs before the dance begins. It is literally thinking on your feet in this sense, and freestyle dancing can exist in almost all dance forms. As freestyle implies, the dancer is free to make it up as he or she goes, though.
