Instagram…Smooth lines
Four years on and we’re still getting use out of the ‘dots’ we bought to form our original social distancing markers.
This week it was helping our Intermediate and Advanced classes understand the direction of travel for an American Smooth move known as the Progressive Runs Forward.
No Classes Sunday 10th March
The school will be closed on Sunday 10th March due to our Glastonbury Dance Weekend
Silent Social CANCELLED
Unfortunately tickets sales have not been as good as we were hoping for the planned Silent Social. We have therefore made the difficult decision to cancel the event.
Those who purchased tickets have been given the option of refunds, or donating some/all of the ticket price to Comic Relief.
If anyone one else would like to donate please visit our JustGiving page.
