"A fantastic dance school- recommend +++
My daughter looks forward to seeing Faye every week as she is very kind, patient and a very good teacher. My daughter has improved so much since coming here and has become more flexible now being able to do splits, cartwheels and other bendy shapes!!! During lockdown Faye has given 110% offering almost daily virtual dance classes - it has been priceless - giving my daughter a kick start to the day and making lockdown fun and rewarding thanks to Affinity!

The 'Alixa Flexibility' method works with all levels of abilities and ages, building a solid flexibility foundation with the focus on injury prevention and safety.
"Alixa's 20 years of experience teaching flexibility and contortion (including at Cirque Du Soleil) make the program completely unique."
An amazing class in which students can expect to see incredible results with their flexibility and therefore progress in other skills too!
MODERN & FREESTYLE
Our Modern & Freestyle dance classes incorporate IDTA syllabus work with the opportunity for students to also express their individuality through class routines and the chance to create their own choreography! A typical class includes travelling from corner of the room to corner, then learning a routine to upbeat, current music in the centre and finishing with a creative task at the end of class!
Exam opportunities are also available with Affinity students gaining an 100% pass rate to date and highly commended grade and above!
LIFTS & BALANCES
Our Lifts & Balances class was created following a routine piece which saw a number of our younger students work with our older students. The unity and teamwork the students showcased led us to create this team focused class, where students learn predominantly group and partner lifts and balances! A firm favourite class on our timetable!

"My daughter adores Acro classes with Faye. She's developed so much confidence since starting in October and has learned all sorts of new skills. The online classes have been the highlight of her day during lockdown. Faye's a brilliant teacher and has helped my daughter to develop her skills through the remote lessons. The classes have also been brilliant for developing concentration. Affinity is a brilliant dance school - highly recommended."
