We Are Moving
I’m sure you’ll agree, it is with great sadness, that I have to announce the relocation of the majority of dance classes from Marble Hill Dance Studios main and much loved venue The Crown.
My husband Peter is in the process of renegotiating the renewal of the lease for The Crown and these actions have currently stalled. It is unclear whether he will remain in the pub for the year ahead and rather than being forced to move at short notice it is only right that I protect the school and take classes elsewhere. This is the most stressful thing I’ve had to deal with this year (forget the 3 children) so please bear with me and let me know if the class location you are allocated is not suitable for you, I will endeavour to place your child into the most logistically convenient class.
Boyz Danz and Dan – Sing classes are unaffected by the move.

Fees & Class Numbers
Unfortunately fees have to rise by one pound per class; this is to cover the huge increase in rent. This is the first time I have had a rise in fees for two years. I will also be making nursery classes a maximum of 10 children and other classes (with the exception of body conditioning) a maximum of 16. Please note these class sizes are still small compared to other dance schools.
Website & Information
The website is in the process of being updated so please contact me directly on 07899771101 or 02088916926 or abigailcova@virgin.net if you need any further information. Please let me know if your child will not continue dancing with Marble Hill as it enables me to offer places out as efficiently as possible.
Please Vote for Ballet at Orleans Infants School
The only classes that will not yet move from the Crown are on Thursdays 3.30 – 5.45pm. However I do need to find a hall suitable for these popular classes.
There is the possibility of Orleans Infants having availability for the dance school on a Thursday afternoon. Orleans Infants should be sending out a survey in January to ask what extra curricular activities you would like in the school in the New Year.
If you attend Orleans and Marble Hill Dance Studio please vote for ballet in the school.

St. Margaret's Fair
Well done to all the children who performed so beautifully at the St. Margaret’s Fair on Sunday the 4th December. Does anyone have a decent video of the show? Please let me know as I’d like to upload it onto our website.
