Our dance school is DANCE CONNECTION and we are under threat of losing our premises, R&R Studios on the Oxford Greyhound Stadium site, if the company that wants to build houses on the site cannot be persuaded to keep this facility for the community alongside the proposed housing development. This facility is unique in the Oxford area, providing three dance studios. We are a very active and inclusive school with 350 pupils, and if we lose our premises the local area loses too. THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE COMPARABLE THAT OUR SCHOOL CAN OPERATE IN THIS AREA. Please sign our petition to show that you support our fight to keep our venue.

The days have been long and honestly exhausting while we fight to keep our doors open. We need to hit one hundred names to grab the attention of the developers before they finalize any plans.
