Let's Dance
We’re excited to announce, we are joining Let’s Dance, 2nd March 2025! This fantastic initiative, spearheaded by Angela Rippon, is all about raising awareness for the benefits of dance on both physical and mental health, bringing people together through dance and encouraging those that don’t usually dance to give it a go.

Dance is brilliant for everyone. Experiencing the enjoyment of dance at an early age raises self-esteem, benefiting all round health and social skills which stimulates other areas of learning. Hopefully becoming a habit for a happier, healthier life. I fully support the NATD Outreach into school’s initiative.
