“A centre of excellence in dance teaching”
Dancing Academy
Dancing Academy Is Moving.
Following our continuing growth and success Dancing Academy will now be located in its own private studio from the 9th November.
Dancing Academy will now be allowing a wider access to our Tap and Street classes.
The new studio will allow us to reschedule our classes to times that are more convenient to our pupils. It will allow us to be more flexible with putting on new classes. It will also allow us to start Saturday teaching. Something that many of our pupils have requested.
Our new timetable can be seen on our Timetable page. Details of the studio address can be found on our Locations page.
