🎪 BIG SKILLS. BIG CONFIDENCE. BIG FUN! 💜

Looking for something a little different for your child or teenager? Something that gets them moving, lets them try new challenges and gives them the chance to learn alongside other young people?

Welcome to Dakini! ✨

Our kids and teens classes offer opportunities to explore movement, develop physical skills and discover new interests in a supportive studio environment.

From building strength and coordination to practising new techniques, learning routines and celebrating those little breakthrough moments, there’s so much more to it than just learning a new skill.

🤸 Build strength and coordination through movement and physical challenges.

🎪 Try something different and discover skills they might never have imagined learning.

💜 Grow confidence by practising, progressing and celebrating achievements along the way.

👯 Connect with others and enjoy being part of a community.

Every young person develops at their own pace, and they don’t need to arrive with experience or confidence already in place. Sometimes the best part is discovering what they enjoy and finding something that makes them excited to come back each week!

Whether your child loves being active, enjoys performing, is curious about aerial arts or simply needs a new hobby, we’d love you to explore what’s available.

Forget boring workouts that feel like another chore. Dance Fit brings movement and music together in an energetic session where you can get involved, follow along and work at your own pace.

🧘 STRONGER FROM THE INSIDE OUT. 💜

Want to build strength, improve your posture and feel more connected to your body? Pilates could be just what you’re looking for!

Our Mat Pilates classes at Dakini Studio focus on controlled movement, core strength, stability, balance and body awareness. It’s an opportunity to slow things down, focus on your technique and give your body some well-deserved attention.

✨ What can Pilates help with?
💜 Develop core strength and stability.
💜 Improve balance, control and coordination.
💜 Build body awareness and movement confidence.
💜 Support posture and everyday movement.
💜 Create a little space in your week to focus on YOU.

You don’t need to be super fit or have experience to get started. Pilates is about working with your body, developing control and progressing at your own pace.

Whether you’re looking to complement your dance or aerial training, support your wider fitness goals or simply try something new, it’s a brilliant way to invest in yourself.

And remember, looking after yourself doesn’t always have to mean going all out. Sometimes the most beneficial thing you can do is slow down, breathe and move with intention. ✨

👟 HEARD THE MUSIC… NOW LET’S GET THOSE FEET MOVING! 🔥

Ever watched someone shuffle dance and thought, “I wish I could do that”? Well, this is your sign to give it a go! 👀

We’re bringing Shuffle Dance to Dakini Studio, and the best bit? It’s suitable for all levels, so you don’t need any previous dance experience to join in.

Shuffle dance is energetic, rhythmic and seriously satisfying once those steps start coming together. We’ll work on the foundations, practise footwork and build combinations to help you find your rhythm and develop your own style.

Don’t worry if your feet feel like they’re doing their own thing at first — learning something new is all part of the fun! We’ll take things at a pace that lets you practise, build confidence and enjoy the music.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have a few shuffle moves in your repertoire, come along, get moving and see what you can learn. 🎶

💭 Thinking about booking your first class but your brain is giving you 101 reasons not to? 👀

“What if I’m not fit enough?”
“What if everyone else is better than me?”
“What if I make a fool of myself?”

Sound familiar? 👀

First of all, take a breath. 🫶🏼

We know trying something new can feel intimidating, especially when you’re stepping into a space you’ve never been in before. But we promise, you don’t need to be strong, flexible, confident or know what you’re doing before you walk through our doors.

That’s what you’re here to learn! ✨

Everyone in the studio was a beginner once, and you deserve to take up space, try something new, make mistakes and have fun along the way.

So if you’ve been watching our classes from the sidelines, waiting until you feel “ready”… maybe this is your sign to take that first step. 💜

We’ll meet you where you’re at.

👇🏼 Tell us: what’s the one thing that’s putting you off trying a new class? We’re listening!

💋 SLOW IT DOWN. FEEL THE MUSIC. OWN YOUR MOVEMENT. ✨

Sometimes the best thing you can do is turn the music up, let go of overthinking and give yourself permission to move.

Our Sensual Slinky Choreo class is all about fluid movement, musicality, expressive choreography and exploring your own style. Think smooth transitions, slinky sequences, body waves and movement that encourages you to connect with the music rather than simply follow the beat.

This is your opportunity to step outside your everyday routine, experiment with movement and build confidence in how you express yourself. You don’t need to look a certain way or have every movement perfected — it’s about exploring, practising and enjoying the experience.

Come as you are, leave the pressure at the door and give yourself permission to take up space. 🖤

Whether you’re a regular dancer or looking for something a little different, check the class details to see if this session is right for you.

✨ YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE FIT, STRONG OR FLEXIBLE TO START. YOU GET TO BUILD THOSE THINGS ALONG THE WAY. 💜

Have you been looking at our pole, aerial hoop or aerial silks classes and wondering whether you’d be able to do it?

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself you’ll book when you’re fitter, stronger, more flexible or a little more confident…

Here’s your reminder that you don’t need to wait until you feel ready to try something new. That’s what beginner classes are for! 🙌

At Dakini Studio, our beginner sessions give you the opportunity to learn the foundations, get familiar with the equipment and build your skills step by step.

💜 Pole – discover strength, spins, shapes and movement.
⭕ Aerial hoop – explore shapes and sequences on the hoop.
🎪 Aerial silks – learn the basics of climbing, wrapping and moving with the fabric.

You don’t need previous experience. You don’t need to be able to do the splits. And you definitely don’t need to master everything in your first session!

Our studio is a place to learn, challenge yourself, celebrate the little wins and discover what you’re capable of.

📍 Dakini Studio, Chesterfield, Derbyshire

🔥 BABY, PUT IT IN SPORT MODE. 🚗💋

If you’ve had Tate McRae’s Sports Car on repeat, this one’s for you! 🎶

Join Lisa at Dakini Studio for a floorwork choreography workshop inspired by this track. Expect attitude, musicality, smooth transitions and choreography that lets you explore the music through movement.

We’ll work on putting the pieces together, playing with dynamics and making the choreography your own. It’s a chance to get out of your usual routine, try something different and enjoy moving with confidence.

Floorwork is all about how you transition between levels, connect your movements and use the floor as part of your dance. We’ll explore the choreography at a pace that allows you to work on the details and get comfortable with the sequence.

Whether you’re looking to develop your dance skills or simply fancy a fun workshop with a great soundtrack, come and join us! 🔥
