Whether you already attend regular dance classes, or whether this is your first taster of learning to dance this carefully curated course is designed to inspire.

All sessions are taught by artists and teachers of South West Dance Theatre.

You can book single sessions, half days, full days or the full course but do book as spaces are limited and the course will only go ahead if we have enough prior bookings.

Children are invited to demo what they've learnt to their parents at the end of each day, and those who would like to may have an opportunity to perform to the public at a dance takeover event on Saturday 26th July as part of this year's Redfest in lieue of the cancelled event in the park.
No-one has to perform. These are only opportunities for those who would like to - as many do - but some also just enjoy learning to dance with nobody watching.
