Comprehensive Dance Training…

Our competitive programme is ideal for those wishing to gain MORE from their dance training.

Our award winning competitive dance team (May Dance - A-team dancers), will participate in 3 or 4 dance competitions in the dance season, attend workshops and perform at community events.
