History
The idea for a dance studio in Manchester had been nurtured by hip-hop teacher and entrepreneur Jerry since 2002. It now has studios in not only Manchester but also Bolton and Stoke-on-Trent, and courses running in Liverpool and Blackburn.
The business overcame slight obstacles in its infancy—a fire at its Dale St premises in June 2007 and then their second building succumbed to arson in August 2007—but went on to become part of the creative fabric that makes up Manchester. Sunshine now has a franchise in Bolton.
The studios has since become a haven for artists of all genres of dance, music and art to run classes and develop their passions. It is open to everyone 7 days a week and is looking to give the public of Manchester, Bolton and Stoke-on-Trent a world-leading drop-in arts facility.
Sunshine Studios has helped nurture talents such as Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
