Charity week is going well, with children and staff dancing in pajamas, 80′s outfits, crazy hair and with their teddy bears. We are raising money for two very worthwhile charities: Alice’s Escapes and Make a Wish.
Photo’s and fundraising totals will be posted very soon.
Well done everyone who took their exams in February.
The results were outstanding this time round for all Modern, Tap and Ballet students.
We had some lovely compliments from the examiners and we are very proud of you all.

Exciting News
Due to overwhelming numbers applying for a place on a Saturday, we are very proud to announce a new venue for TAPA students.
It’s exceptionally convenient as we can more or less see it from our doorstep!!
Currently our Theatre Company use the premises every Saturday morning and now we are starting dance classes there too.
We have always had greater interest for classes on Saturday’s but have been unable to accommodate people past the threshold we have here. Also, I was concerned about the numbers in classes being too high and therefore risking the quality of teaching for each student.
The teacher at the new venue is Emma Delanoy and she has been with us from September this year. Miss Emma is fully qualified in ISTD Modern, Tap and Ballet and she came to us highly recommended by a top ISTD examiner. She has already fitted in and become part of the TAPA family and I am so glad she has agreed to run our Saturday classes.
If you are interested in joining these classes, please contact the TAPA reception as places are already filling fast.
New Venue: Old Church School Halls, 86 Hayes Street, Bromley BR2 7BA
Following the huge success of The Red Ball in 2009, TAPA PA are hosting another glamorous evening at the same venue. This time we have hired 4 gaming tables with croupiers to stage a Casino Night. It’s going to be a fabulous evening of Champagne, Canapes, full Hot and Cold Buffet plus a licensed Bar to purchase beer and wine and to top it all off our very own Cocktail Bar. Tickets are priced at £20 which on top of the buffet, includes your gambling money for the evening. You can purchase tickets from reception or by contacting us via email or Facebook. Please put the date in your diary and get ready for some fun…..
