Birthday Parties

If your child loves to dance then why not treat them to a Step and Vibe Dance Birthday Party!

The package includes teaching the children a short dance routine which they can then perform to the adults. I provide some dance props and costumes for the children to explore. I host various dance games which include prizes. Each child also receives a Step and Vibe certificate for taking part in the activities.

The length of the session can be entirely up to you and happy to tailor the session to suit the interests of the child.

In Primary Schools

“Step and Vibe is an energetic, exciting dance club for all ages. It is a great way for the children to be actively engaged in physical activity and most importantly have fun along the way. Step and Vibe exposes the children to a range of cultural music and dances allowing the children to express their personalities, build upon their fundamental movement needs as well as embed core social skills.”

Zoe McNeil P.E Coordinator 

Step and Vibe can offer your primary school a weekly after school club and class workshops.

The aims of the dance classes are to:

  • Build confidence
  • Celebrate different cultures through dance
  • Work collaboratively
  • To have FUN and be ACTIVE

The style of the classes are not highly technical or intense choreography but more to encourage confidence through movement and most importantly have fun. I can offer a range of workshops which focus on different dance genres, from Bollywood, African to Reggaeton Latin and many more. By not focusing on the same dance style each week it gives children an opportunity to explore and engage with a variety of material.

The classes embrace inclusivity and individuality which is why there is always an element of freestyle involved in the classes. This allows the children to feel free and confident to be who they are and also show other children their dance moves.

I believe Step and Vibe is completely relevant to the growing diversity of children in primary schools. Furthermore, it can really benefit those children who may not have the opportunity to be doing dance classes outside of school.

There is a growing concern of obesity in primary schools so why not offer your children an opportunity to experience exercise in a fun, safe and inclusive environment.

Step and Vibe has been running an after school club and class workshops at Wood Farm Primary since January 2018 and references are available upon request.

"The step and vibe dance club was an amazing way to bring out the confidence in children who lacked it in other areas of the curriculum. Every single child who took part was always buzzing with excitement over the music, dance routines and especially the friendly and enthusiastic instructor! "

Jenna Forth, Year 1 teacher, Wood Farm Primary School.

"My daughter really enjoys the variety of dance and comes home after every class eager to show everyone what she has been doing. And not only is Sonal a great, upbeat dance teacher, she is extremely friendly and helpful if you need to know anything."

“Sonal came along to run a session for our team away day, and it was great. She pitched it just right and everyone got involved and had a great time. Even those who hate dancing actually really got into it. ”

"Sonal is a great teacher, clear and easy to follow. The session was really good fun and brought us together as a team! "

Charlotte Beaumont-Oats
Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer

"The ‘Step n Vibe’ session was amazing – we haven’t laughed so much as a team in ages! Building up the sequences gradually helped me gain confidence, and even the shyest people in our group overcame their inhibitions really quickly. By the end we’d learned some steps that looked really good, especially with the props. It’s made me think about going to Bollywood dance classes...!"

About Me

Hi, I’m Sonal Vyas! Welcome to Step and Vibe. You probably expect me to say I have trained in dancing since the age of two, I have various qualifications in ballet, tap, contemporary etc but this is certainly not the case. This is my story…

From a young age I absolutely loved dancing, I would prepare dance performances at every family event and I would watch dancers in music videos for hours on end. I always wanted to join a performing Arts class but at the time my parents were unable to afford it and I really struggled with being taught any choreography. Something in my mind found it very difficult to process being taught a dance routine by someone else which was frustrating as I knew I had the passion to be a good dancer. I much preferred teaching myself and just feeling the music and freestyling. In secondary school I took part in a few talent contests which helped my confidence but the older I got the more aware I became of my limitations to pursue anything within the dance industry. When I started University I attended one Hip Hop dance class and immediately felt intimidated. I lasted 10 minutes of the class and decided that day to keep my dancing to parties and my childhood home.

My sister works in a primary school and for the last 6 years I volunteer in the School during Diwali (Hindu New Year) and do Bollywood dancing with the children. I teach a basic routine and also give the children an opportunity to teach the class their own dance moves. I would leave feeling completely on top of the world to have witnessed such confidence, happiness and resilience from the children from just a short time of dancing with them. These children reminded me of the great powers dancing has. I wanted to inspire them to keep trying and to never feel limited by their abilities.

Working for 3 years as a Schools Liaison Officer for Oxford Brookes University I worked very closely with young children from disadvantaged backgrounds in raising their aspirations and confidence to higher education. I thoroughly enjoyed working with these children so I decided to combine my professional and personal experiences to create Step and Vibe, a dance club for children from all backgrounds, focusing on building confidence, celebrating cultural diversity and most importantly having FUN!
