We hope that, within the government guidelines that you can carry on teaching. Those of you in your own premises are lucky that you can continue with private lessons and small group classes, it will be more difficult for those of you that hire premises where lots of different groups visit. You must remain positive and try to survive and get through the next few weeks of uncertainty in the best possible way.

Unfortunately, our major events for 2020 have been cancelled, these difficult decisions have had to be made as the current government guidelines only take us in to the middle of June when the virus is expected to peek but not beyond that date. I feel that it is the right decision to be made. Further information will be posted on our website, and regular updates will be given on social media. My message to you all is to stay safe and remember we are only a phone call away. I have attached the best advice below. Accredited and regulated by .
