Skills for Life Dancing is fun, even more so when it’s done with friends. But for a child, there are so many more benefits than just learning the steps. Vital life skills such as concentration, patience with others, managing emotions, respect and teamwork. The Jill Bridger School of Dance is proud to have been promoting these ideals for many years and we are delighted to be celebrating our 30th year in <strong>2018</strong>. Jill began her dance school in a run-down hall off Mill Road in the centre of Cambridge. “Despite the cold and the damp, the bumpy floor and worn-out tape recorder, nothing dampened my enthusiasm to build a school where every child felt welcome. I wanted to inspire a joy for dancing, where students achieved as much as their natural ability made possible, acquiring many happy memories in the process. As I reflect on the last 30 years, the school’s ethos remains unchanged. It continues to be a privilege to be a part of the lives of so many young people, and to witness their growing up to become confident, assured young adults embarking on university or their own chosen pathways. I delight in hearing from ex-students and I am thrilled they thrive in all walks of life and endeavours,” says Jill. The school has classes in pre-school Melody Bear, RAD ballet and ISTD tap & modern. 18 months to 18 years. Visit www.danceschool.biz.
