"I am involved in every project at SPACE including dance, drama and summer projects. I most enjoy dancing (Inspirations) as I have danced most of my life. I have been coming to SPACE for 2 years and it already feels like I live here. I think SPACE gives everyone an opportunity to develope and make new friends . All the staff are supportive, helpful and friendly. SPACE does not tolerate bad behaviour or put downs, everyone should feel comfortable coming to SPACE. SPACE performers vary from non experience dancers to gifted and talented. I enjoy Alice in Wonderland." Nicole 13
