We have a marvellous afternoon on Saturday 4th February. Many of our dancers were in attendance. We would like to congratulate each and every one of our students. This is our first presentation afternoon since the pandemic and it is so lovely to be able to celebrate our students acheivements.
We are extremely proud of all our students, regardless whether they won trophies or not.

We would also like to thank our fundraising committee worked very hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, our chaperones who took care of the children at the side of stage, Amanda Pinder who baked an array of wonderful cakes and everyone who donated raffle prizes.
We managed to raise in the region of £700 towards the showfund. A great afternoon all round.
We are really looking forward to the Showcase and Award Presentations and we hope that you are too.
Venue: Haven Centre, Hophurst Lane Crawley Down RH10 4LJ.

The ticket link has now expired – if you would like to come you need to apply directly to [email protected]. NO extra tickets will be available on the door. Apologies.
Payment for the tickets must be cash or cheque made payable to Redhurst Schools of Dancing SHOW FUND.
Doors will open at 3.30pm to allow time to check tickets and for you to take your seats. Any profit goes into the Show Fund for the Show in 2024.
Don’t forget to bring some cash for raffle tickets, we have some really amazing prizes which have been generously donated.
Our Presentations should conclude no later than 6.00pm, all being well. I’m sure it will be a most enjoyable and successful afternoon as we celebrate the pupil’s great achievements from this last academic year!
Thank you in advance for your support, we are looking forward to seeing you there!
Pre-School Ballet: Children 3+ years, Mondays 3.30pm
As all our current pre-schoolers shall be moving up and working on the Pre-Primary curriculum, we are looking to start a new class for children in the year before they go to school. The Pre-School ballet is for our youngest dancers and these fun classes encourage the children’s use of imagination and musicality as well as developing through simple exercises co-ordination, poise and confidence before moving to more structured dance training.
Young Performers: Children 8+ years, Fridays 5.00pm
This is a new slant on our Musical Theatre Class, children will learn scripts, songs and dances. It is a class for building confidence and performance technique.
Adult Tap: Adults, Fridays 7.15pm
We are constantly being asked to put on an adult tap class and we finally have the timetable space for it! Beginners and experienced Tappers welcome……
As with all our classes, they can only go ahead if we have enough interest so if you would like to trial these or any of our existing classes, please email [email protected]
Monday 12th September – Saturday 3rd December Half Term – Monday 17th October – Saturday 29th October inclusive ( 2 weeks)
Notes:
We revert back to the Pre Show timetable. Some classes will have changed times and some children will have moved up. You will be informed soon if this is the case. If you would like to join us or trial another genre please get in touch.
Friday 22nd April – Wednesday 6th July (schools start back on the 25th) Half Term – Monday 30th – Saturday 4th June inclusive No classes on Monday 2nd May – Bank holiday (this will be a 9 week term)
