EN POINTE REVIEWS
Just wonderful. Brilliant teachers and a great studio. My daughter has grown in confidence after just one term and is so excited to go back to class each week. Really welcoming and helpful team running everything. Highly recommend.
En pointe is outstanding! My two children started 5 years ago and have come such a long way, both have grown in confidence and ability. The teachers are amazing, they help the children to achieve their goals and help to further them if that is the route they want to take. I cannot fault this school and will recommend to anyone.
My daughter loves dancing at En Pointe , she has made life long friends and loves the mix of classes she does . A brilliant dance school.

Wonderful dance school for adults and children alike. Teachers are friendly, approachable and knowledgeable in their areas of dance. Lovely, welcoming environment catering for all, from those who wish to dance as a hobby to those who have career aspirations in dance.
Spotlight is great. My girls feel at home dancing with them. The recent show they performed was amazing to watch. Seeing children on stage from 3 years old to the talented senior teenage dancers. Would highly recommend.
Love Spotlight.Very well organised and children taught to a high standard while having lots of fun.

NORTHERN DANCE ACADEMY REVIEWS
Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of dance that means as a student I get so much out of her lessons. Her attention to each individual’s limits and capabilities means that in every class you receive personal feedback and constant improvement. All of the NDA teachers and highly trained, enthusiastic and hard working!.
Sarah is really warm and friendly. She obviously puts a lot into the school and cares about the students. My daughter loves attending her classes and likes to show off what she's learned. The performances I saw last year were impressive. Everyone clearly put in lots of hard work and had fun too!.
Great adult beginners classes, I am totally hooked (ballet and contemporary). Only wish I had started earlier!.
