Summer Camp in Sussex
Happy Me Dance is running a musical theatre summer camp in Sussex during the summer holidays! If your kids love music, dance and musical theatre, we would love to welcome them in August 2024. Everyone is welcome between the ages of 5-14 years old, so come and learn from the professionals while having fun!
