From gorgeous gowns to colourful Whether you’re channelling Darcey Bussell, Giovanni Pernice or Michael Flatley, there are schools and groups to guide you.
Specialist schools throughout the county are geared up to give youngsters the skills, qualifications and confidence needed to dance with the stars.
