✨ RAD Ballet Exams…Reimagined ✨

At SOMA, we’re proud to be hosting RAD Ballet Examinations — but with a very different focus 💛

For us, exams aren’t about stress, perfection, or pressure.

They’re about confidence, joy, and supporting each child’s future - in dance and in life.

Smalls can expect…

🩰 A calm, nurturing environment
🌱 Encouragement over expectation
🎶 Fun, expressive learning
💫 Skills that shape resilient, self-believing young people

Our approach helps children feel safe, capable, and allows them (and grown ups to burst with pride), turning examinations into a positive milestone rather than a scary hurdle.

Next week we have 6 epic dancers sauté-ing into their Grade 1 exam. Our eyes are twinkling at their futures (partially through happy tears) and we really hope they all offer us discount when they reach the Royal Albert Hall in 20 years.

Proud is a massive understatement. Because when children enjoy the journey, the results naturally follow 🩵

Do traditional New Years resolutions overwhelm you or feel punitive in January? Are you looking for a more heart-aligned way to set and reach your goals in 2026?

If so, join Karen for this workshop which will reconnect you with what you really desire for your life in 2026 and help you take some meaningful, feelgood steps towards making it happen.

We’ll begin with a heart-opening vinyasa flow yoga session (suitable for all levels), then use coaching tools and somatic practices to pinpoint our desires and how to realise them while feeling great in the process.

Please bring your favourite journal and a pen.

SOMA translate to ‘body’ in both Latin & Greek and that is exactly where we land in our kids classes. Through dance, yoga & mindfulness were all about body positivity, self expression and the simple beauty of finding JOY through movement.

Come dive into yogic philosophy, find your inner tiger, float like a bird or do as Bowie says and LET THE CHILDREN BOOGIE.

Let’s talk access. What are we doing (and not) doing for inclusivity and accessibility.

Where we’re crap…

Stairs. They can be quite problematic for some folk…so whilst we might not appeal to all bodies right now, there are stairless plans on the horizon (really good ones).

Money. Our passes financially align with other boutique style studios, but we would love to be more affordable for those that need. Keep reading to see how we can support ya.

Parking. Sainsbury’s is your closest & cheapest bet…parking is free for 4 hours and you can treat yourself to a bag of groceries on the way home…;)

Where we try to do our best:

We offer free places for refugees.

For all of our in house classes, we offer a ‘try before you buy’ pass.

We offer payment plans to suit varying financial circumstances.

We extend passes whenever you need, so if you’ve got poorly kids or low energy…just let us know to extend your pass.

We offer a ‘honesty pass’ for when money is tight. No questions asked.

We offer a few classes where children are welcome. They can snuggle on the bench and eat hula hoops whilst the adults (attempt to) move.

We have a toilet with baby changing, that can fit a pram/wheelchair/small baby elephant. Take your pick.

Lots of classes are tailored for the ND/AD crew…or for those needing a quieter, calmer space. You don’t need a diagnosis, just tell us your needs and come as you are.

We welcome ALL genders. Warmly.

We deliver free sessions for hard to reach areas of the community.

We are trained in working with the LD community and provide classes for children that offer quiet spaces, emotional support and sign supported learning.

We welcome guide dogs, Dezzy (the retriever/lab cross) is a regular.

We adapt our classes in the moment to meet different needs, with the aid of verbal/hands-on assistance and/or props where required n desired.

We’ve started a community interest company so that we can apply for funding and offer space for therapeutic & creative exploration.

And hey, we know we’re not perfect, but we’re trying.
