Please sign this petition in support to show Merton Council that members of the public are not in favour of losing our dance school based at the Madeira Hall, Canons Leisure Centre, Mitcham.
Urban Dance City have been delivering dance classes at this studio for nearly 20 years offering a safe space bringing children and families together representing the diversity of the area. Students gain confidence, keep fit, experience performance opportunities and take examinations. Adults also attend dance workout sessions.
Youth of all ages make friends working together in teams learning valuable lessons gaining transferable skills. The Madeira Hall studios at the Canons Leisure centre is a perfect size and location for this accredited school.
Thank you

I am currently gathering all these stories to present to the council. The impact this studio has on our community is undeniable.

The momentum is incredible. This space clearly means as much to you as it does to me.

This group is very important for our kids ,grandkids. Everything is being taken away from the kids and we wandered why the kids are into gangs and crime, nothing for them. Youth clubs,social clubs, somewhere for them to go all gone,now your wants to take this one group that is inspiring so much kids why???We need the hall for them.
Please reconsider the decision to close Madeira Hall. There is not much for children to do in the area, and Urban Dance City has not only filled that gap for them, but has greatly contributed towards building a local dance community that oir children are proud to belong too. UDC has provided opportunities to showcase local talent through the various public performances that UDC dancers perform at. UDC has also cemented the adult dance community by offering dance classes for adults, that encourage a healthy lifestyle, as well as multicultural community cohesion. I hope the petition is successful.
Like the Urban dance group, Canons Karate Club has been at the Centre for bearly 40 years, and in the Madeira Hall since 2007. The Hall is a real community hub for the local area and it would be a tremendous loss to if this space was taken away.
This place does soo much for young people, male & female, mentally and physically. At a time when there are no youth centres or places for young people to learn, grow, make friends and express themselves. Now places like UDC are needed more than ever. Please keep Urban Dance City going
As director of Urban Dance City (UDC) the Madeira Hall holds 20 years of memories for me, the team and also with students and parents alike. Please keep us open at the Madeira Hall it would mean everything to us. Thank you
Please save the much needed space for the local community.
My son go's here for his dance class and would really be a shame if it closes down.
