DANCE AT ST PETER’S
Dance at St Peter’s is all about creating a fun, friendly, community environment for people to fall in love with dance. We believe that excellence shouldn’t come at the expense of enjoyment. Our teachers are experienced at the highest level, but we make sure that lessons remain fun, engaging and encouraging.
To ensure that all children and adults are able to experience our programs we have carefully organised our timetable to allow for different styles to be available on the same day! We also offer bursary places to assist those who need it.
Classes are available for children aged 18 months (with their adult) to secondary school, and adults aged 18+. If you have any questions, email dance@stpetersbrockley.org.uk.
