October has been an incredible month here at RISE Dance, with new classes, special events, and memorable performances. Here’s a look back at all that’s been happening!
Strictly Fever and Our BBC Radio Leeds Feature 🎙️💃
With Strictly Come Dancing in full swing, we were thrilled to be featured on BBC Radio Leeds! Adam and Rosie had the opportunity to share our passion for dance, discuss everything RISE Dance has to offer, and chat about the excitement Strictly brings to the community each season. They highlighted our wide range of classes—from Ballroom and Latin to Street Dance and Pilates—and our focus on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels. If you tuned in, thank you for listening, and we hope you felt inspired!You can listen back to the interview here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0jvfphy

You Should Be Dancing! 🎶
At RISE Dance, our mission is to get more people dancing—not only because it’s fun, but because of all the incredible benefits it brings. Dance builds confidence, supports physical and mental health, and connects people across all ages. We’re always looking for new ways to spread the joy of dance, so if you have any ideas on how we can get more people dancing, we’d love to hear from you!
