Dance and Live Music

If you've ever wanted to dance like no one's watching, our Dance and Music courses and events are for you. Whether you can only spare one day, or one day a week, our courses are always fun, friendly, and for every level. Or dust off your dancing shoes as we're welcoming the return of our regular social dance nights.
