ABOUT US...
Refresh Dance was established in 2012 by Steph Windsor, who wanted to create a dance school with a difference. Having attended various dance schools growing up and studying at Phil Winston's Theatre Works in Blackpool, Steph decided to set up classes in Bolton that not only taught children and young people the skill of dancing, but created a place where they are free to be themselves, to make friends, to build confidence and feel they belong. Children and young people at Refresh are encouraged to be the best they can be, and celebrate each other's achievements. Dance is a fantastic way for anyone and everyone to keep fit, socialise, learn a new skill and gain a sense of achievement!
We would love you to join us soon! Please see our timetable and get in touch for any further information.
