Welcome to the Footsteps Performing Arts Webpage
About Footsteps
Footsteps opened at the Reigate & Redhill YMCA in November 2010 and had a flying start. We now have over 100 children and adults attending our ballet, tap, musical theatre and jazz classes. Lessons are available for students ages 2 1/2 and above and currently take place on Saturday day time and Tuesday evenings during term time.
The timetable is below and booking forms are available to download at the bottom of the
page or from the YMCA reception. As classes are getting full, we advise that you pre-book
the courses each term.
The first half of the new Spring Term starts on Saturday 3rd or Tuesday 6th January 2015.
For further information please contact Kate or the YMCA on the numbers below.
