Drop-in Classes:
Adult Tap - Starts 3rd January

We also have adult tap taking place in studio 2 on Tuesdays evening with Drew Wood. General level will start at 6.15pm and Advanced at 7.15pm. Both classes are drop-ins so you can simply turn up and pay £7 on the door.

5 Rhythms – Starts 3rd January

We run a 5Rhythms evening class every Tuesday at 8.15pm - 10.15pm with Alain Allard. The class is a regular health tonic; efficient holistic movement medicine for body, heart and soul.

All levels of experience are welcome to any session on a drop-in basis. In addition, the intention is to build week by week throughout the course of the term a deepening sense of dancing tribe.

In this way the class also provides some sense of community and a chance to meet up each week and share space, movement and a few words. Classes are £10.00 and located in studio 2
