Patented Dance is owned and run by Hayley Payton, who believes that dance is not competitive and is great for all ages, abilities and sizes of people. Hayley believes dance is important to maintaining physical and mental health, and is a fun way of meeting new people. Dance develops confidence, a lust for life, and a circle of friends who will be supportive and caring. Patented Dance operates in the Lancaster area, with a good deal of activity being in beautiful Abbeystead and Scorton. Hayley also operates classes in The Borough, the best bar, restaurant and hotel in Lancaster, and she trained with Stage One dance company in Lincolnshire, and has qualifications in the performing arts. She has taught in Virgin Gyms, Cedars Health Club, and many other venues. Hayley's belief is that all dance classes should be enjoyable, uncompetitive, and people should laugh, make friends and have lots of fun.
