Student Information

On joining a class, new students are asked to complete a short Fitness to Dance questionnaire.  Students are also welcome to talk to me in confidence about any health issues which may affect their ability in class.  Private or small group sessions may be arranged where a class environment might be unsuitable.

As a student of Alanya Dance you will get: 

• safe, qualified tuition
