It’s that time of the month!
Our June courses are now available to book via our website bookings calendar.
Please note that the monthly fees are always due before the start of the first session in each calendar month. It would be much appreciated if all could book their required place in advance of the session so that the class teachers aren’t having to chase fees whilst the class is taking place.
Also just to highlight that we have some guidelines/terms & conditions for attending classes at Sandersons. These can be found on our website for your reference.
Many thanks and looking forward to seeing you soon!

⭐️ SANDERSONS PUPILS - PAST & PRESENT - PHOTOS NEEDED!⭐️
As we approach our 50 year celebrations, we are looking to round up some photos from the last 5 decades. We wondered if Sandersons pupils (past & present) might have a little look through old photo albums and see if you have any that you might share with us?
We have set up an online album that photos can be uploaded directly to. This album is split into different decades to help us keep the photos in a bit of an order. For now, you will only be able to see the photos that you’ve uploaded. We will do a full reveal later!
Upload instructions as follows…..
1. Click the link below to access the online album
https://app.eventpics.net/TQYjxuXdpsxh
2. Select which decade you want to add to
3. Click upload button at the bottom
4. Select your photo to add
We have also added an option for people to add photos of the Winter Gardens dance on 30th May and the studio celebration week 1-7th June.
Thank you
The Sandersons Team 🧡🖤

50 YEARS OF SANDERSONS.....
For five decades, our studios have been a place where families have shared milestones — first dance classes, growing confidence, lasting friendships, and a lifelong love of movement. From our youngest dancers taking their very first steps to adults enjoying dance as a creative and social outlet, we are proud to support every stage of the journey. We are excited to share that we are going to be marking this fabulous milestone with two celebratory events….

A big well done to all our Blackburn & Burnley students on their recent IDTA Ballet & Tap examination success. All passed with flying colours!
