Term dates, timetable & pricing

Winter Term 2011

We're running a full timetable of beginners, improvers and intermediate classes this Winter, as well as American Tribal Style (taught by Kay from Abingdon dance troupe Ashnah). The Winter term runs from Tuesday 10th January until Thursday 15th March.

If you have already come to OMEDS beginner's classes, we suggest that you take beginners for another term with a different OMEDS teacher to cover the basics from a new perspective. You can also consider joining the improvers class if you feel ready for some more challenging movements and learning a choreography to be performed at one of our haflas. The improvers class assumes that you are comfortable with all the material covered in the beginners classes, so it is best to keep taking beginners for as long as you need to. Many of our students take both beginners and improvers for a few terms. If you are currently in the improvers class and have been coming to classes for over a year, you may want to ask your teacher about moving up to the intermediate class, which covers more complex technique and layering, improvisation & performance skills, and special topics each term - this term's special topic will be Baladi with Aimée.

All classes will be at at our normal venue, East Oxford Primary School. Class numbers are limited to a maximum of 20, so we advise booking in advance.

Book Now

All of our classes must be booked as a full term of 10 classes. This is because our teachers build each week on what has been learned in the previous classes throughout the term. It also helps us to provide better value for money for our students. However, we do have a 'taster' class each term - this means you can come to the first class of the term without any commitment for just £5. If you decide to continue with classes, you can then sign up for the rest of the term.

We are now able to accept paypal for advance bookings! We will confirm receipt of all online payments by email.

Please select the number of classes per week you would like to attend below, and then on the confirm payment page, list the classes that you are booking (e.g. Tuesday beginners, improvers) in the "Which classes are you booking?" box.
