An award-winning Nottingham dance studio that has been located in the city centre since the 1930s will be relocating in July. Summers Knight Dance Studio has been based on the second floor of Emmanuel House but will now relocate to Woodthorpe. The dance studio is located on the second floor while the ground floor has been used for support services for Nottingham's homeless community.
Sarah Summers and her husband Stephen took over the studio which was originally called Roy and Mary Knight's. Sarah's parents took over the studio from the Jepsons and went on to become champion dancers.
"The studio means so much to many people in Nottingham who came here over the years. Emmanuel House wants to make changes though which I can't fault them for wanting to do. It's so sad as it's been a dance studio since the 1930s when the Jepsons opened it. My dad learned to dance here, met my mum here and I also met my husband here," Sarah said.
