The new dance performance venue replaces the cramped, dilapidated dance studios scattered around various places in the town, representing both a qualitative and quantitative leap.

The dance centre provides a place for all members of the community, all ages and abilities, to come together to share a passion for dance and creativity.

Members of the public can come here for dance classes/schooling to watch performances or to perform. The performance venue also hosts a bar/cafe where members of the public can come at any time to use. This could be whilst waiting for/during an event or before/after a dance class
