Hi Everyone,

Firstly a HUGE Well Done to the students for their presentation. To see the parents tearful as they are so proud makes it all worth it! You did great!

We’d also like to thank our current students for being patient whilst the new studios have taken longer to be finished than first expected.

For those who don’t know Dance Company Studios were burnt down over 3 years ago and finally won the fight to rebuild the studios last year. The new studios have now finished being rebuilt and look absolutely amazing! They will be in use from September 2012 and we can’t wait.

AGE GROUPS:

We are thrilled that from September we can now split the age groups as we have hired 2 studios at the same time so that classes can rotate. 6-12years & 13+.

CLASS TIMES:

There is also a slight time change. Both groups start at 2pm-4pm which will consist of 3 x 40min classes of Dance, Singing & Acting.

FEES:

Fees are £12 per week (for 3 classes) per student, payable in blocks of 6 or 12 weeks. 6 weeks £72 / 12 weeks £144
