Duke of Edinburgh / Children's university and other similar schemes
We are very pleased to be able to support our dancers through their extra curricular activities, and it is great to see so many of them choose dance as one of these.
We are more than happy to sign off dancers hours while they train with us, this must be on the week that they do the hours.
If a student no longer trains with us we will not be able to back date any records for DofE or other similar schemes, therefore it is very important to bring your record cards with you to each class and get them signed off on the correct dates.
