Dancing to Jai Ho the dancers put on a great performance which was full of energy, expresssion and enjoyment and their effort was handsomely rewarded with the 1st place trophy.

In awarding the trophy, the judges commented that the decision was a unanimous one and that they thought the dance was ‘excellent and powerful’ and that all of the dancers ‘attacked it’.

We have just posted photos from the first act “A Christmas Carol” and the children look so cute! We hope you’ll enjoy them for many years to come.

We’ll be posting a new act to the gallery each day over the coming few weeks so don’t forget to keep checking back.

The whole performance on Saturday was also videoed and we will be producing a professional DVD as in previous years. If you didn’t get a chance to order one on the night, you can still place your order via Miss Jo for just £8.00.

We can also produce a high definition blu-ray version on request so that you can enjoy the performance in high definition. Blu-ray versions cost £20.00 due to the additional cost of blank blu-ray media and the fact that each one has to be individually produced. It’s well worth the extra investment if you have a blu-ray player and HD TV as the show looks simply stunning in high definition! Contact us using the website contact form if you’re interested in ordering a blu-ray version.

I’m sure you’ll agree that all of the dancers did a fantastic job on Saturday and we’re certain of a great few hours of dancing, singing and entertainment to look back on once the DVD is finished.

Termly Fees

Unfortunately, some term fees are not being paid on time. May I respectfully remind everyone that all fees are due at the start of the first week of each term, unless a payment plan has been agreed in advance.

We have overheads that have to be paid in advance such as studio rent, insurance, wages etc. I must therefore remind you that all dance fees were due by 16th July and are now overdue.

Anyone who wishes to pay their fees monthly may do so by sending in 3 cheques for the full amount. The first cheque will be due on your child’s first lesson of the term and the other two post dated for the outstanding balance to clear before the end of term.

Thank you!
