Dance Pointe

Dance Pointe sits just outside Grantham and is exactly what it sounds - a dedicated space for dance in all its forms. You'll find classes running throughout the week, from ballet and contemporary to hip-hop and everything in between. The centre hosts performances too, so there's a chance you might catch something while you're in the area.

It's primarily geared towards people actually doing the dancing rather than spectating, though performances do draw audiences. If you're staying at Wagtail Country Park nearby and someone in your group fancies taking a class, it's worth checking what's on. Kids get a lot from structured dance lessons, and adults often surprise themselves at how much they enjoy it.

You'll need to ring ahead or check their website for current class schedules and whether performances are ticketed - these details change seasonally. Allow an hour or so for a typical class, longer if you're making an evening of it with a show. It's the kind of place that works brilliantly as part of a broader trip rather than a standalone destination, especially if you're based at one of the nearby parks.

Grantham itself offers enough to fill a day - the town centre has decent shops and the usual high street fare - so combining Dance Pointe with other local attractions makes sense. Not a tourist trap; just a proper community arts space doing good work.
