WEEKEND RETREAT 2026
FRIDAY 6TH - SUNDAY 8TH FEBRUARY
Following a very special and successful weekend retreat in 2024, we're thrilled to announce another ultimate Musical Theatre, pamper, and party package to celebrate our 7th Birthday! We pride ourselves on the classes we offer but, perhaps more importantly, the friendships and memories made. Join us for an extended weekend of quality time together, filled with laughter, play, dancing, relaxation, and plenty of celebration!
"I knew the weekend would be fun, I was not prepared for how epic it would be and how elated, refreshed and fulfilled I would feel... It felt a true WEW tribe, no separation between class groups which meant everyone was swept up in this magical bubble of dancing and performing love. Thank you so much. You rock!!"
"Everything I was hoping for! I loved the mixture of classes from things we are used to in class to getting out of our comfort zone. Day felt full of activities without being too busy. A bit of bonus luxury to get to have a swim and cool down after a day of exercise. So nice to spend time with other teachers and class members to get to know the WEW family more."
“From start to finish, I had the most AMAZING time and am glad I didn’t miss this wonderful opportunity to not only celebrate WEW’s 5th birthday in a unique way, but to dance, socialise, eat and party with members from other classes. A genuinely friendly bunch of ladies coming together to celebrate that something special we all share in common.”
"Loved, absolutely every second of it. It was lovely to meet others from other classes and get to know people better. Such a lovely atmosphere. Really needed this to destress in the most energetic way, plus the spa to top it off, just wish we could spend more time there!"
