SD STUDIOS REVIEWS

My daughters have been attending classes at SD studios for the past four years. They have enjoyed Pop Academy and Acro, and their favourite class: Musical Theatre. All three classes have enabled them to develop in confidence, fitness and ability. The teaching at SD is nothing short of outstanding, striking the right balance between excellence, discipline and fun. The teachers at SD go above and beyond to ensure students feel encouraged, supported and inspired to fulfil their potential. Frequent opportunities to perform offer positive experiences and memories for students. Both girls have developed a lifelong love of music, dance and singing which will inevitably open doors for them in the future.

My 7 year old daughter Bethany has had so many great opportunities with SD Studios including: performing at Disneyland, recording a charity single, competing at festivals, taking a range of exams as well as performing in the Studios' annual shows at The Kings Theatre and The Guildhall. There are many different types of singing and dancing classes available for the children to take and the teachers are fantastic. They really care about the children as individuals as well as performers. Bethany loves her SD family.

We couldn’t be happier with SD studios. Darcie-Mae has grown up so much since starting in their baby ballet class, and thanks to all the support from the teachers her skills and abilities have grown too. The studios offers such a range of classes that she’s been able to try new ones and explore different styles that suit her. Not only has it built on her dance skills but it has helped her confidence grow so much. All the staff are kind and caring, and so welcoming to new families. Each dance teacher is very talented, hardworking and patient with the children, and we couldn’t ask for me as parents. Throughout the pandemic lockdowns the studios went above and beyond for the students, putting on free classes and workshops as well as talent shows and games night to lift everyone spirits and keep people connected. SD studios is a big part of our daughters life and we can’t wait to be able to get our youngest involved when she is old enough.

GISELLE ADVANCED DANCE AND TEACHER TRAINING CENTRE REVIEWS

Was here for 7 years and it was a massive stepping stone for me. Without Giselles then I wouldn't be the performer I am today. They helped me hone my craft and they gave me my big break. I'm going to miss everyone here and want to thank everyone for the help and support I've received over the years!!.

Fantastic dance & drama school. Has really increased my daughter's confidence. She beams when she performs for Giselles. The school has great standards for the children, and all ages behave & treat each other with respect. Highly recommend.

My daughter has attended since 3yrs old and became her passion, her life and also became mine. Ive been part of the Giselle Academy family for many years and work with some amazing people. The best place to be part of supportive teachers and awesome students. Love it x.

THE AMY HACKETT SCHOOL OF DANCE REVIEWS

Great classes, My daughter is enjoying fairy footsteps, Amy is an amazing teacher, making sure everyone’s involved and encouraged.

The most wonderful dance classes and fantastic teachers We started Fairy footsteps years ago, for something to do together with my daughter when she was 2, now at age 6 my daughter does Tap, Ballet and Modern with Amy and her team, which she has excelled at over the years with help from the girls! We love our Saturday dancing.

I would 100% recommend The Amy Hackett school of Dance, I have been teaching at this school now for nearly 5 year’s and I have to say it’s one of the nicest schools I have ever worked at, highly recommended .
