Can show commitment

Some previous dance experience is preferred although not necessary for those who are keen to develop their dance skills (eg. jazz, contemporary, ballet, GCSE, BTEC).
We are looking for dancers with their own personal flair, a little bit of...artistry!
So come and show us what you've got!
