Here are just a few examples of the more than 30 spectacular events we’ve held and have been invited to perform in, year on year, plus details of our annual activity. Island Dance is rapidly gaining a superb and professional reputation as a school to be relied upon in children’s dance performances. Although our Performers Show Team naturally receive the majority of the limelight, our motto is ‘to give every child a chance to dance’ and so we guarantee your child will be invited, at least once annually, to perform on a large stage or in a theatre. Something many children dream about. |
