We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did - bring on Holidazzle 25!

We are so excited for all those that secured a place in the "Stars of Tomorrow" performance at the iconic Wimbledon Theatre. Rehearsals start in February!

Parkinson's MEDS Classes

Do you know someone living with Parkisnon’s? If you do - they may like to try my Parkinson’s MEDS classes that I have run for the past 8 years.

My Parkinson's MEDS (Movement, Exercise, Dance, Socialise) classes have been a source of joy, vitality and community for individuals living with Parkinson's and I would love to invite anyone living with Parkinson’s to come along and give it a go!

Parkinson's MEDS is more than just a dance class - it's a holistic approach to wellness that combines movement, exercise and social connection to empower you on your journey towards improved physical and emotional well-being. My sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where you can embrace the joy of movement, find strength in camaraderie and discover the transformative power of dance.

For more information and to book a free trial, please don't hesitate to reach out to hello@phillomenadanceschool.co.uk.

Exams

Next Exam Session is Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd March 2025

We will be hosting our next IDTA Dance Exams sessions, in our Stoneleigh Studio, on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd March. Classes will run as normal on the morning of the 22nd.

Results from our December session are fabulous - very high marks for all those that graded. Well done everyone - we are so proud of you all.

Exams are not compulsory but dance Exams are a great way to keep your child's skills sharp and ensure they're ready for any opportunities that come their way. They offer a chance for children to test their skills in front of an examiner, and also gives them the chance to work on their technique as well as their confidence.

Charity Funds Raised

We raised £300 from our Christmas Jumper week & raffles at Holidazzle. Many thanks to those that contributed - we will be sending it to Crisis.

Our next charity event will be at the end of term.
