Winchester Theatre Arts (formerly 'Dancing for Fun' and later Claire Goodwin's School of performing Arts) has been teaching all age students the joys of performing for over 40 years. In that time many thousands of students have passed through the school and become part of one huge family.

We are still a small family run village business using every local community hall in the area for our classes, but this year one of our long held dreams is about to come true. We have been given the opportunity to have our own studio, still in the same village,where we are very much part of the community. For teachers and students alike this is a VERY exciting prospect. However we do need to raise some funds to make this new home fit for purpose - dance floors, sound equipment and sound proofing don't come cheap!

At 74 I am still working in the school, in the best job in the world . I am hoping that some of our past and present students would like to help us realise this dream as a reminder of their happy times within the school, and especially being part of our annual shows.

A donation, no matter how small, will help fit out our studio and guarantee the joy continues for many more generations.
