There have been some changes to AVA Dance in that the Harrogate studio has changed it's name to 'Chatsworth Dance Centre' and is now being run by Mike and Jan Starkings although Ann is still doing some teaching there for them. AVA Dance is now solely based at Darley Community Centre in Darley.

The Academy

The AVA Academy was founded in 1990 by the present proprietor, Mrs Ann Atkinson. Classes are held in Darley on a Tuesday, where there is an excellent staff/pupil ratio, a priority to enable pupils to reach individual potential.
