14th November

We are having an action packed term! Christmas is coming and we have decided to have party night on Wed 17th. As we are having a medal test after Christmas the party will be a little different we will have the usual raffle, and competitions in each class we will also have a fun event this year TBA.

We fully understand that we have a credit crunch and we feel we want all the family to enjoy the last night of term and have fun! Tickets will be on sale from next week dancers £4.00 and spectators, £3.50

As you can see I am keeping the price down as I know we are all feeling the pinch xx

We are going to make it more of a social event and hope you enjoy your evening with us. We will start at 6.00 and finish  once you have all had a great evening!

The JustDance dancewear range is now ready. We have hoodies and bottoms with the JustDance logo on, and for a small extra price you can have your name put on. See www.lovedancewear.co.uk for details

Well done to all who attended Camber; We had such a huge success! I was mesmerised by the children's determination and how they all pulled together xx Love you all! xx

Luke from Italia Conte came and took the squad day and he taught a street dance, which was from X factor, and a freestyle dance. Both were amazing and the dancers held their own. he was very complimentarily to both Myself Sammie and all the dancers, well done JustDance, you did me proud,xx

I am currently negotiating another guest teacher for you all in the Feb half term. We have had Lori Silmon, Joanne Regan, Kurt Mitchel, Luke Bohama to name but a few. I am now looking forward to some street influences after being overwhelmed by the UDO Welsh Street Championships at the weekend, Street Dance is becoming increasingly popular and JustDance will evolve with it.

The school was out at the JustDance Freestyle competition day in Worthing on Sunday 18th. An incredibly busy competition with 492 solo competitors (so just getting a recall was tough!), but we had some fantastic results. See the Results page for details.

The next ISTD exam session will be held on Saturday 7th June at Manor Hall School, Southwick. Those taking an exam will be given a slip in the next few days.

Please note to take an exam you will need to wear a leotard or the correct dance/sports wear that has been seen by myself at dance class. You can be refused entry to your exam if your dance wear is incorrect. The examiner needs to see your feet and ankles so make sure your trouser wear is the correct length

We'd also love to hear suggestions for improvements, photos, or anything else about the school you feel would be helpful. Some of JustDance Academy with Justine's cocker spaniel puppy
