A new chapter
North Star Dance Studio, 8 July 2025
Hi everyone, it's Sarah here 👋 I am so incredibly excited to be taking over the dance school! Thank you Karen Aitchison for the most amazing opportunity - I promise to cherish everything that you have achieved over the last 52 years, and to build upon it with the same love and commitment that you have demonstrated during your time as Principal.
If the history of the dance school was a book, then this is the next chapter, and like many chapters, this one comes with a new title - North Star Dance Studio. I love what this name symbolises - the North Star is a guiding light, providing constancy and hope, much like dance does for many. It also shines with a brightness far exceeding that of its neighbours, and whilst it sounds corny, I genuinely believe that all our pupils are stars ⭐️.
Over the next few days and weeks you'll see me making small changes as I move everything across to the new name. There's an amazing website on the way, and more socials to launch soon.
I know not everybody is a fan of change, so rest assured that many things are staying the same. We will continue to provide high quality dance teaching in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical and highland, our fabulous teachers, Miss Allyson, Miss Iona and Miss Nadia will all be returning in August, and for now we will continue to operate classes from the Willowbank Hotel. Terms will still run in 6 week blocks, exam opportunities will continue to be offered, and our show will still take place in March.
I'll let you know once the website launches, and I'll post the updated timetable tomorrow - we have a couple of new classes starting which I'm excited to tell you about! In the meantime, please pop Monday 25th August into your diaries - this is the date we will start back after the summer holidays.
If you need to contact me in the meantime, my email is sarah@northstardancestudio.com, phone number 07811 922273, or you can reach me on Facebook Messenger.
Thank you ⭐️
Miss Sarah x
