From the minute you walk into Drapers you are welcomed by friendly, caring staff who make you feel at ease. By the time you leave you have jaw aches from all the laughter, you have made a bunch of wonderful friends and the thought of why didn’t I challenge myself to learn to dance sooner.

It does not matter if you are feeling anxious or have two (or four) left feet between you, the staff have all the patience in the world and have many ways to get your feet moving in the right direction.

My daughter has been going to Drapers since she was 2 1/2 and she’s now 6. The staff are lovely and professional and the venue is brilliant. I took my daughter to introduce her to listening and learning from a teacher and it really paid off especially in advance of her starting school and gave her an invaluable experience. She loves the teachers and the classes, learning many different kinds of dances at a technical level which amazes me with them being so young. They grasp the tuition and relish the challenge. Give Drapers a try. You’ll not regret it.— Lisa Cazzato
