Dance Class Levels
As this situation has been evolving with Covid-19 virus, we have been doing everything we feel is right and responsible to manage our studios. After consulting local health care providers, and the Ministry of Health, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to temporarily suspend DANCE and DRAMA CLASSES ONLY at the LPAC premises effective from Monday 23rd March. We will be introducing online lessons for these classes so they can continue learning for the remainder of the term.
Our range of exciting dance classes are available below, catering for all ages and levels of experience. Our ever expanding timetable, including specific classes with assessments and/or exams to compliment our open classes.
