Dionne Turpie School of Dance

Just a reminder that we are still in normal classes up to and including, Thursday 17th April!

One more week of hard work before a well deserved week off! 💪🏻

Our tots loved having some of Miss Holly’s teddies come to watch them this week! They showed them what they’ve been learning and sat them smartly on their laps to listen to Miss Charlotte 🥹🥰
