It was wonderful on Angela Rippon‘s Let’s Dance Day to take some of my youngest dancers to dance for one of my oldest!
We went to see Jane whom I taught over 30 years ago and gave her and her friends in her care home a little dance performance. It brought back so many happy memories and gave the children an experience of dancing that I think they will remember for ever!

Our Summer Dance Course is back by popular demand! Lynette and Charlotte will be offering 3 fun filled days of dance this year, so book your young dancers in! Here is the info for the mornings for children aged 3 - 11.

🌟 Children will dance with their age / ability group and we will use both of our spacious halls at the URC church.

🌟 Children will learn different dance styles and have the opportunity to perform to each other each day if they’d like to.

🌟 Sessions are fun and friendly as always and no previous dance experience is necessary, in fact we would love to welcome new aspiring dancers!

We would also love to offer some dancing to seniors (11+) in the afternoons on these days. Please let us know asap if you’d be interested and are available and we will sort this for you.

Simply get in touch to book your place!
