Smikle Dance Studio

I am so glad Lee has chosen Hove to set up his amazing dance school! The studio is a beautiful space to move and Lee's classes are very professional, full of positive energy, joyful and encouraging. The diverse and beautiful choice of music is a constant invitation to move. I joined Smikle Dance Studio a short time after it opened and I have loved every single class ever since.
