Wear something loose and preferably breathable. Try not to wear anything that trails under your feet as we want you to be safe.  In terms of footwear, it is your choice. Ballet shoes, socks or bare feet are fine for any of the genres of class offered.

We have many beginners coming to our classes, but they never stay that way for long! If you want to pursue Ballet as a beginner, the ‘Beginners’ classes are the best place to start so that the proper placement, alignment and codified exercises can be introduced to you at a slower pace. If you are a beginner and would like to learn Contemporary dance, you should try the general level classes. These classes cater to  a broad spectrum of abilities and 3rd stage teachers are experienced in designing their classes with differentiation in mind.

Advanced Ballet practitioners should head to Sara’s advanced classes, although Jude’s Intermediate lessons would also be worth a try. As an advanced practitioner of Contemporary Dance, you should try our general level classes.  They aim to offer a high level of technical engagement and will give you plenty to think about no matter what level of experience you bring with you. We also offer classes for advanced practitioners several times a term. The dates for these will be posted on our web-site or via social media. Please keep checking for updates.

Classes are offered at a drop-in rate of £6. You can save a bit of cash however, by purchasing a carnet. These are £30 and cover six classes.  If you would like to purchase one, you can do this via your teacher at the end of class.

Our classes are held in Bristol and Bath. Please see the class timetable for venue addresses. Here are some tips that may make finding your classes that bit easier.

La Scala, Oldfield Park, Bath:  The studio is above the Co-op.  Go into the store via the entrance that opens onto Shaftesbury Avenue. You will see a set of stairs on the left as you enter. The studio is on the first floor. We are currently using the back two studios. To get to these, you will have to walk through the main studio area.  (There is a door in the right-hand corner along the back wall) There may be a class in session, but please don’t worry, you are meant to walk through this area. . You will find us in the rear studio at the end of corridor.

There is free off-street parking in the streets around La Scala, The Big Act Studios and the Southbank Studio.  Parking at the Island is a bit trickier as it is in the center of Bristol, however there are multi-stories with in close proximity.

Of course! Please refer to our 3Motion page for further information.

We aim to offer classes as consistently as possible, although there will be times when teachers need a break. If classes are not running, we will always post this information on our noticeboard and on Facebook.
