We believe that dance is for everyone; from babies to seniors and people of all abilities. If you or someone you know has access requirements we will do everything we can to help. This guide tells you about some of the facilities we currently offer. If there’s something you need that isn’t here, just ask.

Whilst we aim to make every class accessible for everyone people with additional support needs can find classes especially for them by clicking here.
