15.01.2022 To all our wonderful DPA dance family, With information from the government it saddens me to say that we will close our doors as of 23 March 2020. Hoping with all my heart this won't be for too long. I will be looking into setting up online classes so the students can still enjoy a bit of dance fun and keep up with their exam work. Keep an eye out for updated Timetable's and information on classes. ... Keep your spirits high, they may have closed our studio but haven't closed our hearts & our love to dance. Love to you all Miss Marnie #dance #dpadancers #dancefamily
