My classes are designed to be inclusive to all children and abilities aged 2-12 years. I will be teaching a fusion class of fundamental Modern dance technique, Lyrical and Commercial Jazz styles, as well as creative movement. The classes are the perfect space for your child to gain strength and technique, while also exploring their own creativity and style.

Babies (ages 2 & 3) 3.30-4pm
Minis (4-6 years) 4.15-5pm

Power Station film screening

Power Station tells the heartwarming and often funny story of a community project that turned an ordinary residential street in Northeast London into a producer of solar electricity.
The film follows Walthamstow-based artists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn as they gain local support and raise the funds needed to put solar panels on the rooves of 30 homes in their neighbourhood.
Power Station is about neighbours, persistence, and small steps adding up to something meaningful. By the end, it leaves you feeling hopeful—and maybe wondering what could happen on your own street if people decided to work together. It also makes you laugh.
Doors open with bar at 6pm. Film starts at 6.30pm. Stay with us for what promises to be a lively Q&A session with filmaker Dan Edelstyn at 8.15pm. Event ends at 8.45 pm.
Tickets £5 in advance, £7 on the door. Sponsored by Sustainable Charlbury, click for tickets: https://sustainablecharlbury.org/news-and-views/solar-energy-revolution-in-your-street/ https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sustainablecharlbury/2037392
