Happy Father's Day to all our Little Gems School of Dance dance dads!
This isn't the dance dad quote we usually hear. That honour definitely goes to "she said I had something to pay for"!
We are very grateful for everything you do for our dancers....not just the paying!! π

βοΈSummer Dance Camps 2026βοΈ
We are excited to open bookings for our summer dance camps. There are 5 days to choose from for children aged 5+! Each day includes dance and music all around a theme! The cost includes a snack and drink and all materials for the day! All you need to provide is a packed lunch! As ever, the more sessions you book, the better value the price becomes and if you book a second or third sibling, we will knock off another Β£5 as well!
To book your places on these days, use the booking form https://forms.office.com/r/KJ3JCjkG1c
There is a link at the top of the form to allow you to pay for your sessions or you can pay in reception @ The Studio.
Places on each day are limited so don't miss out!

I am looking for prizes (preferably vouchers) from local businesses for our raffle at Showtime 2026, raising funds for North East Hearts for Goals to buy a defibrilator in memory of our friend Norman Lazenby!
If anyone works for a business who might be able to help us, please ask for a letter from reception!
