OUR MISSION

At SEDA we take pride in making each child feel seen and provide them with a safe, encouraging environment to learn in. We want every child to feel confident and believe in their abilities, whether they dance for fun or take it more seriously, a positive mindset and attitude to learning is encouraged.

Dance isn't just an excellent physical activity to take part in, it's also great for mental health. Many dancers use the art form as a way to express their feelings and emotions. As well as this I also believe that it teaches a child countless life skills that they'll take with them throughout life. Some examples of this are: Communication skills, team work, problem solving, professionalism, being committed, independance and so on...
