KPSD NEWS - Now fully open
Katie Philpott School of Dance has now launched it's 2020-2021 school year and is delighted to be fully open and accepting new students.
All our three studio venues in Mirfield are open once again with a full timetable of syllabus and non-syllabus classes.
Of course, we are abiding by strict guidelines and following Government advice. The health, safety and well-being of our students and staff is paramount and we have stringent measures in place around our studios. These include strict regulations around class arrival and departure, how classes are conducted to maintain social distancing and cleaning routines, including our 'fogging machine'.
We have spaces available in our pre-school Creative Movement and Disco Duck classes. If your little one would like to try a FREE trial class, please email katie@katiephilpott.co.uk - thank you.
Katie, Hannah, Sophie, Candy and Rachel are delighted to be welcoming everyone back and of course looking forward to 2021 which will see us stage our main show and Choreographic Cup in the same year for the first time. It's going to be a wonderful year, we look forward to sharing happy dancing memories with you all.
