Frequently Asked Questions
What age groups do you offer dance classes for?
Magical Minis welcomes babies from 12 weeks old until they’re walking. Next, Magical Tots runs from 18 months up to 6 years. For older children, Magical Days Theatre School and the Magical Cheerleading Club are both for ages 4 to 11.
What should my child wear to dance class?
First, we suggest comfortable clothing that’s easy to move in. Tiny dancers can wear ballet shoes or trainers or they can simply dance in bare feet.
Can parents stay and watch the dance classes?
Yes. At Magical Minis and Magical Tots, parents stay with their child throughout the class. For Magical Days Theatre School, however, children can be dropped off and collected at the end of the session. We also hold special viewing days, usually at the end of term, so you can see their progress.
Can we try a class before signing up?
Of course. Taster sessions are available across our classes, so you can see the magic for yourself before you commit.

We run classes at venues across Devon and Cornwall. So take a look at our class timetable to find the nearest one to you.
