If you have two or more children in the different age groups, please let us know as we can always find ways to accommodate both so you don’t have to make multiple trips to pick them up and drop them off.

The history of Jones Bach
JONES BACH - the dance workshops for young people in and around Newtown have been going for as long as Jones the Dance (which was formerly known as Gwyn Emberton Dance).
Since 2014, JtD has run its annual summer dance programme for young people from 7 to 18 years of age, in Newtown, mid Wales, with The Hafren and for a few years with Ballet Cymru. We have had teachers from all over the world such as Sweden, Italy and Spain teach on the summer schools with participants being local and also coming from as far as Cardiff, Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth.
