Mendl Dance cultivates an inner sensitivity, self confidence, poise and self discipline.  Classes develop creativity, co-ordination and self esteem through dance activities, dance stories and improvisation.

Mendl Dance is inspirational and educational allowing development of expression of one's innermost feelings in free spontaneous movement as well as guided and/or structured movement.

The classes are designed to provide a wonderful introduction to the joy of music and movement and are a great physical and aesthetic experience for all pupils.  Mendl Dance introduces and fosters an appreciation and love of classical music.

Dance stories are danced to stimulate the use of imagination, to develop qualities of movement, body awareness, stamina and endurance, concentration, group co-operation and individual expression.

In addition to dance technique, skills for self discovery through creative movement, exploration and improvisation make Mendl Dance classes a unique dance experience for all ages.

Although Mendl Dance is not a highly regimented form of dance the classes still require a child to have the ability to listen to and follow directions when asked;  similar to any group learning situation. 

Most children adapt well to Mendl Dance in structured 'semi set' and guided improvisation dances.  However, some children may, for various reasons, not adapt so readily and on that very rare occasion, it may be necessary for the child to wait to begin classes until they are better able to handle the dance studio environment.
