"We have a fantastic dance studio but sadly no dance mirrors. The addition of dance mirrors to our studio would greatly enhance the functionality of the studio and assist our students both young and not so young in their dance training. We need to fit safety mirrors specially designed for dance studios. These are expensive and we would very much appreciate your help in the way of a donation (no matter how small) to assist us with the purchase and fitting of these mirrors".

The dance school teachers all work tirelessly with all students of all ages to help them gain in confidence and ability in all dance styles.

Everyone regardless of age or ability is given the opportunity to perform and to maximize their potential.

Dance mirrors will really help the teachers in assisting the students to progress and we think it’s time we gave the Rhythmic expressions family a helping hand. They give so much of their time to their love of teaching dance. Indeed they often dance at local care homes and charity events to raise money for others. Please make a small donation to give them something back for all their hard work.

This weekend the electric sockets have been moved higher up the wall in order to prepare the walls for covering in MDF boarding. This will make a nice smooth and flat surface for the mirrors. We have measured up the wall area and will be purchasing the boarding and fitting it over the next few weeks. We will update you as we proceed and include images where possible. Thank you all for your support.
