Our Mini Montfort classes are specifically designed and geared to this age group (3 - 6 yrs) with the emphasis on fun, developing self confidence, discipline, team-building and developing new creative skills. 

Children learn to express themselves through movement and each week your child will learn and enjoy different dance styles.

When they dance along to their favourite pop songs or show tunes, through cleverly constructed and fun choreography, your child won’t even realise that they are gaining the knowledge of basic dance steps and techniques, and that their physical co-ordination and fitness is improving. Children of this age love costumes and props and we use they in abundance throughout the year! Everything from Princess dresses to cheerleading outfits and a myriad of props such as ribbons, glow balls, wings and hoops.     

Twice a year the Mini Montforts will have the opportunity to perform on stage! Firstly in our annual pantomime in the Firkin Crane Theatre - each group will perform two routines, and then on the BIG STAGE of the Cork Opera House in our end of year show - 'Applause 2020' which is compulsory for all students. 

In Mini Montforts watch your child grow in confidence while our fully qualified teachers introduce your child to the wonderful world of music and dance.

Attire: Each class runs for 1 hour and the mandatory uniform of leotard, ballet shoes and tights are compulsory. No student will be allowed participate in class without the required uniform. 

I.D.T.A. Examinations     

We offer dance exams across the college. These examinations are optional but are recommended for all students in order to develop their dancing skills.
