Street Dance and Commercial Dance are basically one and the same. A form of dance that originates from the the streets of New York, outside of the Dance Studios. As time has passed, so many forms of Street Dance have emerged and they continue to do so, given that these styles are so often seen in Commercial Music Videos and in commercial media, the umbrella term "Commercial Dace" is now commonly used to describe it.

Coached by our own acrobatics teacher, this class is perfect to get kids flexible and flying, students are grouped by age and ability so it's ideal for all ages 3 - 8 & 8+.

One of our most frequently asked questions! Here's a list of do's and don'ts for appropriate dance wear: **Do's:** - After attending for at least 1 month, all students are required to wear our AJ Dance uniform. It's stylish, relaxed, and comfortable. Check out our shop on the website to buy what you need! - For the first month, we suggest leggings, jogging bottoms, or tracksuit bottoms paired with a T-shirt, hoodie, vest top, or similar. Trainers or pumps are ideal for footwear. **Don'ts:** - Jeans, dresses, skirts, or shorts aren't suitable as they restrict movement. - Boots, sandals, or school shoes are not appropriate. Hair should be tidy and out of the face, but a bun is not required. If you're still unsure, just ask!

YES! Boys are always welcome in our classes, in fact we have boys in all of our age groups from Mini's right up to Seniors! With the rise in popularity of Street Dance, more and more boys want to learn, plus given our Principal is male, it sets us apart from the majority of other dance schools where some boys may feel out of place with a female teacher and a class with only girls.

We have limited capacity for all our classes, so pre-registration is essential. You may be able to join us immediately, but there might be a short wait for a space to open up. We'll always inform you of your start date, so don't worry. We operate ongoing enrollment, allowing new students to join at any time, not just at the start of a term. However, there are times when we may delay a new student joining a particular class if the current students are finishing an existing routine. We wouldn't want a new student to join and just sit and watch without being able to participate. Therefore, it's always advisable to contact us and reserve a space so we can advise you of the next available date to attend.

We are based in our very own purpose built dance studio located in the heart of Aintree, L9. The easiest way to find us is to head to the Jacobs Factory on Long Lane Aintree, directly opposite it you'll see "Big Padlock Self Storage", just enter that site through the main gates and our studio is down on the left hand side. For more info and a map just check our "Contact" page above.

New students pay at the studio on a per-class basis for their first month. After that, all classes are paid for online at the time of booking via our "Class Pass" pre-pay system. Classes are paid for on a per-class basis for the first month only. All classes are payable even if missed due to sickness, holidays, etc. There are no refunds, and classes are not transferable. A "Class Pass" is purchased after the first month, automatically renewing every month to take the stress out of arranging fees. Once you have a Class Pass set up, you can book all your classes without entering payment details again!
