A Letchworth performing arts school is taking the "next step" into a new purpose-built practice space.

The Britton School of Performing Arts (BSPA) has grown from strength to strength since its launch in 2012, winning various national and international titles.

Twelve years on, the school has announced its move to a facility in Works Road, Letchworth. From Tuesday, January 14, the new venue will be open for practice.

School principal Lynsey Britton is hoping the school will help "enhance training" and allow them to "give back to the community".

"To have our own premises where the students thrive and progress, it will be wonderful.

"We hope this is the next step for us and for performing arts across Letchworth as our expansion allows us to welcome even more students from the area."

The school announced the news via a Facebook post, which read: "We are so thrilled to be able to share our exciting news with you all…

"It has been the dream of our school principal Lynsey Britton from day one to ultimately have our own venue to operate from, where all classes are under one roof and which has the facilities of professional dance training studios."

"WELL …..…. THIS DREAM HAS NOW BECOME A REALITY!!" The post added.

"From Tuesday, January 24, 2025, BSPA will begin classes at our new home in Works Road in Letchworth."

The new build includes three purpose built dance studios with mirrors, barres and high quality dance flooring, a spacious student hub area and a waiting room for parents.

Lindsey added: "The new space will be a buzzing centre for performance, and hopefully we can play a big part in the community for kids to have an outlet for their mental health and well being."
