Festive Dance Intensive: Christmas Holiday Dance in Sheffield
Shake off the Christmas sofa and dance your way into the new year! Between Christmas and New Year, we’re opening our studios for two festive dance intensives: a full day of dancing for children, and one for adults.
Whether you’re looking for a fun way to keep the kids busy during the holidays, or a treat for yourself after all the Christmas food, it’s a chance to try new styles, learn a routine, and celebrate with fellow dancers in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
