We would like to say a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared our story, and shown support. Your kindness and generosity has meant more to us than words can say.

Carol May’s Academy has been a place of friendship, confidence, opportunity, and a love of dance for generations of families for over 40 years.
We are continuing to reach out to our wonderful dance family, local community, former students, parents, and friends to help protect the future of the academy we all love. Every donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are urgently needing to secure a new permanent studio home, ensuring our dancers can continue to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and inspiring environment.

As a small thank you, our amazing teachers will be holding a special prize draw, with free private lesson vouchers to be won for those who donate. We want to give back to those who have helped us in our time of need.

Please continue to share our story and help us reach even more people. Thank you for standing beside us during this incredibly difficult time.

Please help us save our dance school!

Help Us Secure the Future of Carol May’s Academy

For over 40 years, Carol May’s Academy has been at the heart of our community, providing a welcoming, supportive environment where children and adults can learn, grow, and share their love of dance. Generations of families have passed through our doors, creating friendships, building confidence, gain opportunities and lifelong memories.
As a result of this general excellence of training, many of our pupils have been able to further their dance career, and gain opportunities and places at professional dance establishments including The Royal Ballet School and PCD to name a few.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, ongoing issues affecting access to our current premises mean we are now facing an uncertain future in our current building. As always, our priority is ensuring our students continue to have a safe, positive, and inspiring environment in which to dance and thrive.

We are therefore urgently needing to secure funds to help us find and establish a new permanent studio space where our students can continue to train safely and comfortably for years to come.

The costs involved in relocating a long-established dance school are significant, and we are asking for the support of our wonderful dance family, local community, former students, parents, and friends to help us through this incredibly difficult period.

Funds raised will go towards:
- Securing a suitable new studio premises
- Relocation and setup costs
- Creating a safe and welcoming environment for all students

Every donation, no matter how small, will help protect the future of Carol May’s Academy and allow us to continue supporting the children, families, and dancers who mean so much to us.

Dance is more than just a class! It is friendship, confidence, support, and a second home for so many young people. With your help, we hope to continue that legacy for many years to come.

As a small thank you to all our wonderful families and students for your kindness, help, and continued support, our amazing teachers will be holding a special prize draw for those who contribute and donate of free private lesson vouchers to be won.

Thank you all for your kindness, generosity, and continued support.
