There’s So Much for Adults to Enjoy at NFAD!
At the New Forest Academy of Dance, we believe dance is for everyone — at every age and stage. Whether you’re looking to keep fit, try something new, or rediscover a long-lost love of dance, we offer a wide range of classes and workshops designed especially for adults.

Regular Adult Ballet and Tap Classes

For those wanting something consistent and rewarding each week, our Adult Ballet and Adult Tap classes run throughout term time, with sessions available for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced dancers. These classes are welcoming, sociable and full of encouragement — ideal for anyone looking to build skill and technique, meet like-minded people and enjoy dancing as part of their weekly routine. These classes are available via a half-termly payment or as a weekly pay-as-you-go option for added flexibility.

Stretch, Strengthen & Sculpt – Fitness, Energy and Fun

Our weekly Stretch, Strengthen & Sculpt class is a lively, high-energy session focused on fitness, flexibility and strength. This pay-as-you-go class is open to all levels — from complete beginners to those with dance experience — and is perfect if you’re looking for a motivating workout that challenges you while keeping the atmosphere upbeat and supportive. Expect great music, dynamic movement, and a feel-good full-body workout that leaves you strong and energised.

Adult Workshops – Explore Different Styles and Themes

Alongside our weekly timetable, NFAD runs a series of Adult Workshops, offering the chance to explore different styles and themes throughout the year. These one-off sessions are a brilliant way to try something new, experience different teachers, and add a creative boost to your dance routine.

Following the success of our recent Contemporary Dance Workshops, we’re excited to introduce new themes for the 2025–26 academic year. Coming up first, our Heels Workshop is now open for booking — a commercial-style class full of confidence, energy and fun, adaptable for all levels of experience. Later in the year, look out for more themed sessions, including:

Ballet Repertoire Workshop – Learn choreography from a well-known ballet piece.
Fosse-Inspired Jazz Workshop – Explore the signature moves and musicality of Bob Fosse’s iconic style.
Broadway Tap Workshop – Channel your inner show star with a vibrant, theatre-inspired tap class.

Dates for upcoming workshops will be announced via our Calendar, and open bookings will appear on our Workshops and Holiday Courses page.

Dance for Every Age and Stage

Many of our NFAD families know us through their children’s classes — but there’s truly something for everyone here. Our adult programme is open, inclusive and designed to make dance accessible and enjoyable for all. Whether you danced years ago or are stepping into the studio for the first time, we’d love to welcome you.

Come along, join our growing adult dance community, and discover how fun, empowering and energising dance can be!
