AVR DANCE REVIEWS

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time dancing at AVR. The school offers a wide variety of classes to suit all abilities, helping students strive to reach their full potential in a fun, caring environment. Miss Amie and her teaching team are fabulous and deliver quality teaching and many opportunities for the students to use their skills. It is a wonderful dance environment!.

After experiencing AVR 2 years ago for a show my daughter took the plunge to move dance schools to AVR. Such a massive decision but with absolutely no regrets after nearly 6 months. My daughter has been welcomed by students and teachers alike. She’s made fantastic new friends and the teachers are so talented while encouraging the dancers to be their best. There’s a huge range of classes to take part in. I highly recommend AVR to anyone!.

My daughter joined AVR Dance last September, everyone there has welcomed her so well. There is a wide variety of classes to suit everyone. I highly recommend AVR Dance to anyone who is looking to introduce their child to dance.
