Following the announcement made by the Prime Minister at 5pm on Monday 16 March the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre have taken the decision to cancel all activities and close the theatre to the public until Friday 17 April. With only two weeks left of the spring term, we want to ensure all of the young people we reach are safe and looked after. At present all classes will resume after the Easter Holidays. We will review and monitor this based on guidance we receive and we will of course keep you updated. As of the end of today (17th March) our office at the Lyric will be closed. DanceWest will be working remotely with full email accessibility. We would like to thank all of you for your support, we will be fighting with all that we have to ensure that our classes and community programmes are back to normal as soon as possible.
