Ceilidh Live Band Event

On Friday 30th January 2026 we’ll be welcoming back Nedron’s Jig to the studio for a fabulous Ceilidh night.

There’ll be a caller to instruct us in the various dances and it promises to be an entertaining evening.

The event is fully booked but we are operating a waiting list that you can sign up to here.

What You May Have Missed

Parking Tickets

Parking is still free at the studio, providing that you remember to enter your number plate into the tablet provided.

However we still encounter instances of students receiving parking tickets due to incorrect number plates being entered, or forgetting to put it in.

A reminder to please put the number plate in each time you come, as we only have a limited number of cancellations each month (which we have to share with the Parish Council).

We charge a £10 admin fee to cancel tickets but we can only help within the first 28 days of a ticket being issued.

Blackpool Dance Experience

January saw us visiting Blackpool to spectate at the Champions of Tomorrow competition, as well as having afternoon tea and dancing at Blackpool Tower on the Sunday.

Keep an eye out for details of another Blackpool Dance Break coming up in July, to support two of our students who will be competing to become “Medalist of the Year”.
