For children in school years 3 - 6 there were 6 different classes to choose from in the morning, and for those in school years 7 - 11 there were 6 slightly differing classes in the afternoon. All classes were delivered by qualified local dance teachers and schools, who could let you know where you can take part in your favourite classes on a regular basis. Over 60 children made came along to try their hand at the dances, with many going on to take up the classes on a more regular basis. The classes catered for all tastes, with Zumba, Street and Cheerleading being the most popular.
