Every Child Belongs in Dance — Inclusivity at Kerry's

Walk into any class at Kerry's and you'll notice something straight away: everyone is in it. No one sits at the back. No one is 'not the dancing type'. That's not an accident — it's the whole point.

Our door is wide open

We teach children from age 2 right up to 18, across Ballet, Tap, Modern, Musical Theatre, Street Dance and Contemporary. Some of our dancers dream of the West End. Some come to see their friends. Some come because it's the one hour a week that's completely theirs. Every single one of those reasons is brilliant.

There are no auditions to join, no 'right body type', and absolutely no previous experience needed. If your child wants to dance, they're one of us.

SEND and neurodiverse dancers thrive here

We understand that every child learns differently — and that for SEND and neurodiverse children, the right environment makes all the difference. We adapt pace, structure and sensory load to suit each dancer, and we take the time to learn what helps your child feel comfortable and confident. Tell us what works for them, and that's what we'll do. No fuss, no spotlight on it — just a class where they belong.

What inclusivity looks like in practice

Every dancer gets seen. Our classes are small enough that Kerry and the team know every child by name — their strengths, their wobbles, and exactly what makes them light up.

Progress at your pace. Exams are there for those who want them (and our 100% ISTD pass record shows how well that works) — but they're never compulsory.

Everyone performs. When show time comes around, every child gets their moment on stage. Not just the front row — everyone.

Kind studios. We have a simple rule: we cheer for each other. Confidence grows fastest in a room where it's safe to try, wobble and try again.

The fun bit is the point

We believe children learn best when they're having a wonderful time. Yes, we take the training seriously — the ISTD syllabus, proper technique, real progression. But the laughter you'll hear through the studio door? That's the sound of it working.

Come and see for yourself. Your child's first class is a chance to try us out with zero pressure — book online or drop us a message. We'd love to meet you.
