Dear friend,
Happy New Year!
As with most places, it was a very snowy start to 2010 here at Mind the Gap Studios. Hopefully now that the worst of the weather is behind us for this winter we can concentrate on all the exciting events we have coming up!
Click on the links below to read about what we've been up to, what we've got to come and the opportunity to use our Studios at a reduced rate, and in some cases, for free!
Kind regards,
Ben Rothera

Friday Dance Theatre workshops
Have a Go Week: Dance Theatre places still available
Friday Dance Theatre workshops
Last Friday was the first of our Dance Theatre workshops, we have been overwhelmed by the level of interest and it is wonderful to have so many new faces at Mind the Gap Studios.
From the very beginning everyone really got stuck in with loads of energy and even more ‘street’ attitude! The group are working towards a performance piece for our Bradford’s got Hip Hop Talent event on Friday 19th February.
Have a Go Week: Dance Theatre places still available
There are still a few places available for the Have a Go Week: Dance Theatre during February Half Term. If you haven’t got your Booking Form back to us yet, make sure you return it straight away to get involved in this exciting project.
Bradford’s got Hip Hop Talent
The culmination of the Have a Go Week: Dance Theatre and the Dance Theatre workshops will be Mind the Gap’s first Bradford’s got Hip Hop Talent event.
The two groups will perform the pieces they have been working on to an invited audience of friends and family. After the performance there will be the opportunity for audience and participants to play Nintendo Wii on the big screen in Studio 1, show off their vocal talents in our 'Gap-e-oke' room (Mind the Gap's version of Karaoke) and get involved in a Hip Hop style ‘dance off’.
We will be taking lots of photographs on the night so keep checking our Gallery section to see what went on.
Street Dance classes
Our brilliant Street Dance tutor Karen Bartholomew, will be running a Beginners’ Street Dance Course here at Mind the Gap Studios beginning on Monday 1st March 2010. The course will be every Monday for four weeks from 6 to 7.30pm.
