ART & CRAFT DANCE WEEKS
Art and Craft Dance weeks are held in the summer holidays.  During the Easter and Christmas seasons, Saturday dance/craft days are offered (very useful to get some unfettered Christmas shopping done!).  The days run from 9.30am - 3.30pm. Check the diary dates page to see if there's one coming up.

Parents and carers come to watch the dancers' own choreography on the last day.

These popular events give the girls and boys the opportunity to try out their own dance and choreography skills, and to perform them.  Arts and crafts form a major part of the fun, and lasting mementoes are created.  Costs compare very favourably with other holiday schemes.
