Right2dance is an amazing company. All my children have had the privilege of attending these classes. My oldest boys are now 21. They often reflect back at the wonderful experience they had whilst at class. My middle boys are now 19. Again they had wonderful times in class and made good friends for life. My youngest girls are just about to turn 7.… They attend class on a Saturday. The class has brought out the best in them. Their creativity is massively encouraged. I look forward to next term when they can join more classes. It is the most welcoming dance company around. ❤️
