Summer Events

Whether you have little dance experience or have studied extensively, we have a UK Summer Event to suit you.
'Please do pass on our thanks to all the teachers, chaperones and organisers as it really was wonderful. I cannot express the experience gained by each student just from stepping out of their comfort zone and pushing themselves to be creative and learn from other teachers.'
