Digital classes, workshops and more w/c 13 April
It's been nearly four weeks since we made the difficult but essential decision to close our buildings, and although its been hard not welcoming our fantastic audiences and participants through the doors, it's been great to see many of you enjoying our digital programme of activities. Here's a breakdown of all the fun we've got lined up for next week (commencing 13 April).
Do I need to book for these sessions?
Rhyme and Shine is the only event that is a live session and is bookable online. Other content will be provided as pre-recorded videos and released onto our homepage on the release day for you to enjoy in your own time.
Workshops w/c 13 April
This week, we will be continuing some of our regular online sessions including Dare to Dance and Alphabetland. We will also be running an additional Rhyme and Shine online session this week on Friday (17 April) as well as our usual Tuesday session.
