Kingfisher Welcomes New Dance Academy from Renowned Choreographer

Kingfisher Shopping Centre will be opening its doors for the first time to Shaun Paul Smith’s Dance Academy, inviting children and young adults, aged between 3 and 21, to learn the very best in street and commercial dance this summer.
