After a lovely Christmas break, we are thrilled to share some exciting news with you – we are moving to a new and improved location! (Don't worry, it's only a 2 minute drive from our current studio). After an incredibly long time spent searching, negotiating, and waiting for planning consent from the council, we completed and received the keys to our new studio 3 days before Christmas!
Why the Move?
Our time at our current studio has been nothing short of amazing. The studios have served the children well by providing a safe and well-equipped environment for them to dance. As our children continue to progress through their grades and classes and our school grows it is time for us to spread our wings and embrace a new chapter. Most importantly, with the use of an additional studio, the move will allow timetabling to be convenient for you when adding classes for our students as they age and/or progress through their ISTD grades.
Comparing the Old and the New:
Old Studios:
Studio 1: 96m²
Studio 2: 50m²
New Studios:
Studio 1: Retains the capacity.
Studio 2: Expands to 56m²
Studio 3: A brand-new addition at 40m²
New Location Details:
Our new studio is conveniently located just a 2-minute drive from our current studio. You can find us at:
Address: 2 Quay Point, Collivaud Place, Ocean Way, Cardiff, CF24 5HF
Our new location offers its very own small car park with 12 spaces for your convenience. Additionally, there is ample car parking available in the wider car parking area. For those who prefer street parking, there are options just outside the car park.
In an effort to support eco-friendly commuting, we are also installing cycle parking on the perimeter of our new building. This ensures that bikes can be securely locked up outside, providing a sustainable and secure option for our cycling community.
The Benefits:
More Studio Space,
Enhanced Comfort with Better Heating, Insulation, and Air Con,
More Toilets,
Less Industrial Area,
Good Parking,
An overall more homely feel for the children.
Smooth Transition Plan:
We have a scheduled 2 week break after the show where we plan on putting all the finishing touches to the new studios. We will then begin our new term in our new home on the 19th of February.
The builders are starting work on the new studio soon. We plan on getting the new premises ready and then moving the flooring and mirrors needed to complete the studios while the children have their break after the show.
Your and your children's experience with Flame Dance Studios remains our top priority, and we're committed to making this transition as seamless as possible for everyone. We hope that the studios will be up and running a week before the children return. Therefore, if you feel your child will benefit from seeing the studios and getting themselves familiar with the new environment before their first lesson, we can arrange for them to come in for a little tour beforehand. Just pop us an email and we can arrange it.
We are incredibly excited about the move and can't wait to welcome you all to our new home. We will be keeping you updated with information on the move as we get closer to transitioning to the new studio.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
