Introducing....BOYS DANCE CLUB

We are thrilled to announce that after May half term we will be starting brand new dances classes… just for boys! These classes will cover a mixture of genres and really focus on strength, flexibility and fitness. Classes will be held at Testbourne School on Thursdays. We are so lucky to have so many boys in our dance school, sadly they are spread about across all our classes so they can often feel a bit isolated, this is an amazing opportunity to bring them together! You can register your interest in BOYS DANCE CLUB now by emailing us at ballet@marinadance.co.uk.
