A dance teacher says she cannot wait to reopen her studio to her students again.

Lockdown restrictions ease tomorrow (Monday) meaning children and youngsters aged under 18 can resume indoor activity like dance.

Shoshana Kramer is counting down the hours until she can open her school, the Shoshana Burns School of Dance, based at The Cannon in Thirsk Road, Borehamwood.

It will be an opportunity to meet her students again face-to-face, although Shoshana has been able to keep in touch after hosting virtual classes.

Shoshana said: "Research has shown that the mental health of young people is more likely to suffer due to the lockdown so we wanted to help our dancers where we could.

"Our dance community is very close and everyone has been really missing seeing each other properly. But now we’re back and raring to go, albeit at a social distance.

"Our classes have strict numbers and each dancer has their own space to dance freely in. We clean the studio several times a day and provide hand sanitiser and individual equipment.

"We can’t wait to welcome back our students and are accepting new students too."

Classes run for children as young as two, including classical ballet, modern, tap, singing, drama, musical theatre, Zumba and many more.
