Workshops and summer school

The school holidays, but with sequins

Themed workshop days, a five day summer school and comp team intensives keep the dancing (and the fun) going between terms.

What to expect

More than a holiday club

Themed days they'll talk about for weeks

Every workshop is built around a theme children love: island adventures, high school musicals, magic storybook worlds. Dance routines, drama games, crafts and prizes all tie in.

All welcome, ages 3 and up

Workshops are open to everyone, not just JLDA students. Minis days run for ages 3 to 6, junior workshops for ages 6+, so it is also a lovely first taste of JLDA.

A full day of childcare with substance

Workshops run through the school holidays with generous hours, a mini showcase at the end of the day, and children who come home tired, proud and full of stories.

New workshops are announced on Instagram and Facebook each term, with booking on Bookwhen.

Save them a space

Workshops are open to everyone, and they are a brilliant first taste of JLDA. Weekly classes start from just one free trial.
