Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Canterbury, is it worth travelling out to Aylesham for acro
Yes, many of our acro dancers travel from Canterbury because acro is harder to find in the city than ballet or tap. The journey is about fifteen minutes by car via the A2 and our timetable is designed so families can get here after school and be home again at a sensible time. Many children get the bus to AIM in Aylesham from School and are picked up after classes in the evening.
