“I would thoroughly recommend Derwent Danceworks. They’ve put on an exceptional amount classes for all of their students during lockdown, and we’ve enjoyed both the saved routine videos online as well as virtual classes. My son has been going to and enjoyed boys streetdance since he was 4 years old, still going strong now at 7. It’s a lovely class.”
“We took our little girl from 2 years old to Derwent Danceworks in Thorganby. She loved it and was only £3.50 a class – only stopped as we’re unable to make the time due to my work now. Highly recommend.”

‘My daughter has attended Sally Corbally‘s dance classes in Riccall for a while now and really enjoys them. She does ballet and tap and gets to take part in a big show every couple of years, would highly recommend the classes for children of all abilities.’

‘At three years old our daughter joined Sally Corbally’s School of Dance. She absolutely loved to sing and dance and Sally came highly recommend. Two years later her love of dancing has continued to grow which is down to the excellent teaching of Sally and her dance teachers. Sally really has given our daughter a chance to shine, taking part in her first dance show this May and completing her bronze award in tap and ballet this July. There is a real focus on enjoyment for dance in the sessions and our daughters confidence has improved greatly as well as her technique. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sally Corbally’s school of dance to any parent whose child has an interest in dance and performing. ‘
