Our 'Movie Magic' theatre shows in July 2023

We held 4 theatre shows over Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July 2023.

"Miss Michelle,

Just wanted to thank you so much again for all your hard work. The show was absolutely incredible. We didn’t quite believe you could top last years show and performances but you did. 

You and your team have worked so hard and we are genuinely so appreciative of everything you do for our girls. 

We have had a blast, and can’t wait for the next one. 

...it was an absolute pleasure helping over the last couple of days. I’ve really enjoyed it. 

Sending all our love and hoping you have an amazing summer. See you all in September. 

Lots of love from us. Xx"


"Good Morning Miss Michelle,

I would just like to say a huge congratulations on the outstanding performances over the weekend.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work it truly doesn’t go unnoticed, from the Saturday lessons to organising an unforgettable show along with everything inbetween.

It has been amazing, you and the rest of your team have been amazing! I was nervous for my daughter to begin with as she has only been dancing with yourself for a year and this was her first show however I was stunned with the confidence she had along with the other girls.

A weekend we definitely won’t forget. We are already looking forward to the next show. Thank you for giving everyone this experience. 

We hope you all have a lovely summer and We’re looking forward to seeing you all again in September.

Sending lots of love to you all."


"Dear Michelle,

Thank you very much for the excellent show at the weekend. We were really impressed. I know how much time and effort and work goes into events like this, and you and your team did a great job. Costumes, music, choreography - all first class. Please give our thanks to the entire team.

I was also delighted to see how much progress my daughters have made over the year.

Best wishes for a happy summer holiday."

Updated January 2021 - Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Whilst we were unable to dance together at the hall, some students kept up with their dancing by taking part in smaller classes or private lessons on Zoom. Well done to all those students who took part in these classes.


Additionally, we also arranged a single session Workshop in February, where the students learnt a dance and then recorded themselves performing it.

We have edited the clips together, and the finished video is below. Well done to all those who took part in the Workshop!

Updated Thursday 17th September 2020 - Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I am very pleased to inform you that the school will be re-opening on Saturday 26th September.
Please take the time to watch the short video below, showing the procedures that have been implemented.Invoices have gone out to many parents and places have been secured on receipt of payment. Capacity of class sizes is strictly limited and some classes are now almost full.

Due to the government restrictions on social distancing, class sizes are now strictly limited and need to be managed and planned accordingly. With this in mind, I am emailing parents in order to plan classes.
We're really looking forward to returning to dance classes and seeing you all in a couple of weeks.

Please keep checking this website for updates over the coming days.

Many thanks, Miss Michelle.
Updated Saturday 5th September 2020 - Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I am pleased to be able to tell you that we are now in the process of making arrangements for a return to dancing very soon.

Things will obviously be a bit different for a while, with all necessary Covid precautions taken into account, but the teachers and I can't wait to get back to dancing as soon as possible and we look forward to welcoming you back then.

Please keep checking this website for updates over the coming days.

Many thanks, Miss Michelle.
