Learning something hard, then doing it in front of others. They take that feeling into school and everywhere else.
Fun
High-energy classes, music they love and coaches who make every week something to look forward to.
Friends

Reviews
What parents & dancers say
"From day 1 at Kanvas we were thoroughly supported through my daughter Karlie's dance journey. Her teacher has always been kind and patient with her, and has an air of "approachability". The camaraderie she has found with her dance friends at Kanvas has been encouraging to watch. Its a good environment for any parent who is a bit nervous that their child may be new or feel left out - the dance mums are inclusive and supportive of all of the children. Watching her on stage at cheer competitions has often brought tears to my eyes as she has been coached to strive hard in dance. We hope she is at Kanvas for many years to come."

"Simply fab! Seeing both my daughter’s confidence grow in such a short space of time has been amazing! Talia is an amazing teacher, nothing is a problem and both girls’ technique has drastically improved since joining kanvas. They both love coming to their classes twice a week and strive to progress with their dancing. If you’re thinking about coming to Kanvas I’d recommend 🥰"

Got a question? We've got answers.
We teach dancers aged 4 and up, split by age group across both Street Dance and Cheerleading.
None at all. Most of our dancers start as complete beginners. We build foundations first, then move into freestyle and choreographed routines.
Book on our Free Trial page. Pick a class that fits your child's age, and we'll email over a QR code to bring along. It's free, with no commitment and no card required.
They'll need comfortable clothes they can move in and a water bottle. They don't need a uniform or special shoes for the trial. Come five minutes early and we'll introduce everyone.
Nothing, unless you want it to. If they loved it, you can join that day, and our 14-Day Promise means you get your money back within 14 days if it turns out not to be for them. If not, there's nothing to pay and nothing to cancel.
