It's not just dance on offer at Studio 54 because it has joined forces with Steel Fist Martial Arts to create a youth and community centre.

Amongst the activities on offer are street dance, ballet, tap, modern, break dancing, ballroom, acting and singing lessons, plus many more.

Mick Steels, who set up the Steel Fist, has over 25 years of martial arts experience and has trained with some of the best instructors in the UK and Thailand in Thai boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Krav Maga.

There are family martial arts classes for parents and children, as well as a senior class for teenagers and upwards.

In addition there are three fitness classes a week and a street defence class for women aged 13 or more at the studio in Hoyle Road.

This uses a system called Krav Maga which is employed by Israeli special forces.

And there is even a parent and toddler group three times a week and an under 18s club night during the school holidays.

Studio 54's award winning street dance group The Juicy Crew still practice here too.

Cheryl Poulter runs classes in Saltdean and Mick has clubs in Newhaven, Seaford and Saltdean.

Mick and Cheryl said: "We want Studio 54 to be a place were we can work with parents and children to promote healthy life choices and give the community a safe environment to try new to try new things and to keep children away from the street were they can be pulled into crime and anti-social behaviour."
