FREE TRIALS AND A BRAND NEW CLASS

With rehearsals for our show at the Ipswich Regent under way, trials of our regular classes are currently not available.

Instead, we are offering this opportunity to join this BRAND NEW CLASS and be guaranteed a place to join the main academy in July. This 8 week course will give children a chance to try all of the subjects that we offer, making it easier for them to decide which class they would like to join. It will also allow those with some dance experience the opportunity to try other subjects and broaden their dance experience.

Places on this course will be limited and must be booked and paid for in advance. We are expecting demand to be high, so please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Course dates: 9th May – 4th July (no class on 30th May) on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:15 at Castle Hill Church. Ages: From 5 years upwards. If we have a large age range booking, we will split the course into 2 age groups and run an older class 6.15 – 7pm. The cost for the course is £40.
