USEFUL INFORMATION

What is a Diva Dance Taster Class?
A one-off introductory class where you’ll learn routines inspired by pop icons like Gaga and Beyoncé, focusing on style, performance, and confidence in a supportive and fun setting.
What are the benefits of taking a taster before joining a course?
A taster gives you the chance to try the style, meet the tutor, and get a feel for the class before committing. It’s the perfect way to see if Diva Dance is right for you, helping you feel more confident about joining a full course.
Do I need any dance experience?
If you have some dance experience, you can jump straight into our Beginners Diva Dance Course after your taster. If you’re brand new to dance, we recommend starting with our Absolute Beginners Dance Course before moving on to Diva.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement. Most students take part barefoot or dance in socks.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
