Sanderson Dance School

In 1976 Sanderson Dance Studios was established by the Principal, Jackie Sanderson and in its infancy, the business operated out of many venues in the Pendle area including the Conservative Club, the Railway Workers, St Georges Church Hall, St John’s Ambulance and Brierfield Town Hall. A lease for rooms above the Co-Op Supermarket, Brierfield was acquired and Sanderson Dance and Fitness Centre was launched. During the 15 years that followed, the studios were expanded to include the Royal Dance Club in Clayton le Moors and the Candy Club in Burnley. In addition a new Ballet and Tap Department was formed under the leadership of Lynne Mc Cheyne in 1988 and over the years as the popularity of the dance classes increased, Sandersons became one of the largest schools of dance in the UK.
