No. MK Dance offers a free, no-obligation trial. It gives you or your child the opportunity to meet the teacher, experience the class and see whether MK Dance is the right fit before joining. There is no commitment to continue after your trial.

MK Dance is an award-winning, family-run dance school offering welcoming and supportive classes for children and adults. With over 20 years of experience, fully qualified teachers and structured programmes across ballet, tap, modern and other dance styles, our focus is on helping every dancer learn, develop, build confidence and have fun.

Children can start at MK Dance from age 2. Our mk minis programme is designed specifically for children aged 2–4, introducing ballet, tap and modern through creative movement, music, stories and playful exercises. From age 4, children can progress into our Main School classes.

MK Dance offers ballet, tap, modern, musical theatre and other dance opportunities for children, as well as adult ballet and tap classes and Silver Swans ballet for adults aged 55+. Children can follow structured RAD ballet and ISTD tap and modern programmes, while additional performance and musical theatre opportunities are also available.

No. Beginners are very welcome at MK Dance. Our classes are designed to support children at different stages of their dance journey, whether they are taking their very first class or already have several years of experience. For younger children, mk minis requires no previous dance experience and provides a gentle introduction to movement and music.

For a trial, your child does not need to have a full MK Dance uniform. Comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely is suitable for their first class. Once they join, children are expected to wear the appropriate uniform for their class. MK Dance has its own online shop with leotards, dance shoes and other essential dancewear.

Yes. MK Dance offers recognised dance examinations in Ballet, Tap and Modern. Our Ballet classes follow the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, while our Tap and Modern classes follow Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabuses. Exams are optional, and pupils are entered when their teacher feels they are ready and have reached the required standard.

Yes. Building confidence is one of the core aims of MK Dance. Classes are designed to be welcoming, encouraging and supportive, helping dancers develop confidence alongside their technical skills. Our ethos focuses on learning and development, friendship and fun, and helping every dancer feel that they belong.

MK Dance offers a progressive dance journey as children grow. Dancers can begin with mk minis, move into the Main School from age 4 and progress through RAD ballet and ISTD tap and modern grades. Older and more advanced dancers can also access MK Associate opportunities, including performances, industry workshops and West End pathways.

Absolutely. MK Dance welcomes adult beginners as well as experienced dancers. Adult ballet and tap classes are designed for people who want to try something new, return to dance after a break, improve their technique or simply enjoy a fun and sociable weekly class.

MK Dance currently offers adult Ballet and Tap classes for dancers aged 18+, welcoming complete beginners through to those with previous experience. We also offer RAD Silver Swans ballet specifically for adults aged 55 and over, with classes designed to support mobility, posture, coordination, strength and confidence.

MK Dance classes start from £21.25 per month, with standard classes costing up to £37.50 per month. Our fees are spread across 11 monthly payments across the year, making it easier for families to budget rather than having larger termly payments.

​

We also offer 10% sibling discounts and discounts when dancers take multiple classes. The exact monthly fee depends on the class and number of classes taken.

Yes. Children can train in multiple dance styles at MK Dance. Many pupils combine ballet, tap and modern, while additional classes such as musical theatre and street dance provide opportunities to explore different styles and develop performance skills. The Main School timetable is structured to allow dancers to progress across different disciplines.

MK Dance has classes at several locations across the Croydon area. The Main School is based at the Woodside Green Christian Centre on Hermitage Lane, with additional classes at St Mildred's Parish Centre on Bingham Road and Sanderstead Methodist Church on Limpsfield Road. 

At MK Dance, we believe there is a dancer in all of us. We combine high-quality, structured dance training with a strong focus on confidence, friendship and fun. Our experienced and fully qualified teachers support dancers at every level, from their very first class through to exams, performances and more advanced opportunities. As a family-run school with over 20 years of experience, our aim is to create a genuine dance community where everyone feels welcome and supported.
