Due to the new Tier sytem announced by the Government on Thursday 26th November, the School will be be unable to reopen on Wednesday 2nd December as planned. Despite children's classes being able to restart, we have took the decision not to do so, due to there only being one week of term left.
Children's classes will recommence on Monday 4th January 2021, by which time, we are hopeful that adult classes might also be able to restart.
We will be in touch will all of our pupils, and offering zoom classes to our adult pupils should they wish to participate. We hope you all stay safe and well, and very much looking forward to seeing you again in the not too distant future. Keep safe, keep smiling, keep watching Strictly....and keep dancing!
Covid update - 17/10/20
As from 17/10/20, Lancashire has moved into Tier three. Gyms, leisure centres, and educational settings are allowed to remain open for now, and therefore unless our venues do not allow, classes will continue in a Covid compliant way. We will monitor this situation closely, as the safety of our Dancers is paramount. We also recognise the health benefits of dance. So for now, classes are running as per the new normal. Keep safe, keep smiling, and keep dancing everyone
We are continuously working very hard to ensure we are Covid compliant, and teaching from Covid secure venues
We have reduced class sizes, have shorter class times to avoid any overlap in classes, dancers are kept social distanced in their own designated space, sanitiser stations in every venue, track & trace system in operation, venues are wiped down between classes, dancers wear face coverings on entering and leaving venues, windows and doors are kept open, cashless payment system in operation. These are just a few of the steps we are taking to ensure your safety on the dance floor.
From Tuesday 4th August, we took our first steps back to the dance floor. Please see below for our phased reopening dates.
All pupils will receive written notification of when and how their class will return
