See you soon!
We are gearing up for the start of term. Please read on for all our news and updates - including new classes & some great half term activities!
Diary Dates
5% Dance Fee Increase Sep
We did email everyone at the end of the summer term to let you know - there is a 5% increase on all dance fees in September. Fees have remained the same for the past two years due to adding VAT last year. As all costs & overheads have increased annually for us, we have to increase fees to match the general rise.
Inspired to dance after our Summer show?
Did our spectacular dance show we performed in July leave you feeling inspired? If so, we believe it's the perfect time to elevate your child’s dance journey with us even further. Building on the momentum of our amazing performance, we invite you to explore new forms of dance and maybe add a new class for the new term!
At our studio, we offer a diverse range of dance classes that cater to dancers of all levels and interests. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, explore a different style, or simply immerse yourself in the joy of movement, we have the perfect class for you

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.

Exams
We will be hosting our next IDTA Dance Exams sessions, in our Stoneleigh Studio, on Sunday 1st December.
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 £100 from our raffles in July at the show - so many thanks to those that contributed - we will be sending it to the The Royal Marsden.
Our next charity event will be at the end of term - Christmas Jumper Week.
