CURVE DANCE, previously known as Footloose School of Dance in Leeming &
Easingwold has been established for ten successful years. With a new name comes
new, modern and fresh classes that not just provide pupils with great exercise
but engage them creatively. We strongly believe Dance can educate, improve
confidence, social interaction but above all its great fun! Curve Dance love
seeing a pupil’s progression not just in their dance ability but in their
ability to think creatively and work within a team. We see on a daily basis how
allowing pupils to express themselves through movement can assist them in other
areas of their life and give them the confidence to think outside the box. Curve
Dance work on numerous performances throughout the year, help our pupils achieve
their goals and improve their self-confidence. Curve Dance’s principal Kelly has
