Stride School of Dance

On Sunday some of our dancers took part in 6 events at Urban Cheer UK competitions (duos and solos).
We were absolutely blown away by their energy, performance, team spirit and progress and we were so pleased that everybody got a call back! We couldn't be any more proud of each and every one of you.

We've absolutely loved having a visit from Bella and Alice this evening.
After years of dancing with us, they both decided to take a step back after last year's show. Like lots of your children, we've watched these two beautiful girls grow up so it always means the world when people come back to visit ❤️

‼️IMPORTANT‼️

Unfortunately, having the floor resurfaced is taking much longer than anticipated which will affect some classes on Saturday (6th June).
Because we won't have access to the hall during the time it takes for the work to be completed, we will be using the church for our classes so all entrances and exits must be made at the top door.
Please see details below:

📅Saturday 6th June
There will be no Syllabus 1 class, please attend an alternative class on a Thursday 4.20-5.10

ALL OTHER CLASSES WILL RUN AT NORMAL TIMES!

Just a reminder that we are now closed until Monday 1st while we await our new floor
