   Having only joined Penelope’s Dance Studio just over a year ago it has been such an incredible experience! I have received such constructive feedback which has shown in the immeasurable growth I have seen in my dancing. I have had the opportunity to perform in incredible shows and attend the International Theatre Dance Awards and many more exciting experiences. Penny, Kate and Alex’s teaching style and dedication to helping me achieve my ambitions in the dance world is so wonderful and something that is so special about the studio which I why I have loved every minute I’ve been there. As a student who travels from over 2 hours away multiple days per week, I would definitely recommend Penelope’s Dance Studio to anyone looking to nurture their child’s love for dance in a healthy and happy way!!

   I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with this exceptional ballet school! From the moment we walked through the door, it was clear that this school truly values creating a warm, welcoming environment. The atmosphere is so nurturing, like an extended family, where every child feels seen, supported, and encouraged. The teachers are incredibly skilled and passionate, not only about ballet but also about fostering the growth and development of each student. With a focus on cultivating both technique and confidence in a way that makes learning feel fun and fulfilling. It’s amazing to watch the children grow in their love for dance, gaining poise, discipline, and teamwork skills, all while feeling empowered in their own unique abilities. What sets this school apart is its genuine focus on the children’s well-being and progress. They understand the importance of a positive, patient, and individualised approach. I’ve seen first-hand how much the teachers care for each student’s success, both in and outside of the studio. It truly is a place where children thrive, not just as dancers, but as individuals. If you’re looking for a ballet school where your child will be encouraged, celebrated, and surrounded by a close-knit, supportive community, this is it! The dedication to excellence and the heartwarming family atmosphere make it a one-of-a-kind gem. I can’t recommend it enough!

   I am extremely disappointed with the treatment my daughter received at this dance studio. During one of her lessons, the teacher made an unprofessional and unnecessary comment about her shoes, saying they looked like a “crown.” This kind of remark was not only hurtful but completely inappropriate. To make matters worse, my daughter was asked to sit on the side during a standard lesson simply because she did not participate in a previous performance. I enrolled her in these lessons for her to learn and enjoy dancing, not to be excluded based on participation in extracurricular events. This experience left my daughter feeling uncomfortable and singled out. I expected a positive and encouraging environment, but unfortunately, that was not the case.

   My daughter has just started at Penelope’s and absolutely loves everything about it, she hasn’t stopped smiling since the moment she joined. Penelope is an inspirational teacher and the outstanding quality of teaching is clearly shining through and my daughter’s technique has improved massively in the last few weeks. My daughter would attend Penelope’s dance classes every minute of the day if she could! Penelope clearly shares her heart with her students through dance and not only does my daughter get the passion of ballet from Penelope but she gets a treble whammy with the talent and experience gained from Kate and Alex. She is such a lucky girl we are so proud she has this opportunity to learn and grow at Penelope’s.

   There are not enough positive adjectives we can use as a family to describe how we feel about Penelope’s Dance Studio. From the moment I contacted and spoke to Miss Penelope on the phone to the way she teaches with such visible passion is second to none. My 3 teenage daughters are new to the school, having done ballet since they were 2 years old and yet we feel like we have been part of it for years. We have been made to feel like part of the family, the whole vibe and experience is truly wonderful. The outstanding quality of teaching, real life expertise and an unrivalled technique and approach has shown in all of our daughters progression in the last few weeks. The addition of Miss Kate and Alex to add to the variance of experience, skill and talent for the girls is amazing. The entire place feels personal, filled with passion, kindness, nurturing of children and of excellent teaching quality and we are delighted to be a part of it! Thank you to the whole team x

   My Daughter’s been attending Penelope’s Dance Studio since she was 2 years old. It’s an amazing opportunity for her to dance in a fun and engaging environment. From the start she’s loved the classes which are excellently constructed for her age making her experience both exciting and educational. This is thanks to the passionate skilled team at the dance studio, led by a wonderful zealous teacher Penelope who inspires and drives greatness – I would thoroughly recommend.

   So delighted with the quality of the lessons our daughter has received at this school of dance. At first she was nervous and unsure but both Miss Penny and Miss Kate were so reassuring that she now joins in with confidence and ease. She has learnt a lot since starting and we are very impressed with their online tuition. They are great value for money and have responded promptly to any questions I have asked. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

   An amazing place! My 5 years old loves it! Finally she enjoys the classes and is motivated to do better thanks to the feedback given. Small groups, effective sessions structure, professional and passionate teacher Penelope-I couldn't ask for more. They approach every child individually, are genuinely caring and well-organised. Worth every penny spent. No more issues-just enjoying the dance! Thank you Penelope Dance School! Karolina

   Lovely dance school. We discovered Penelope’s Dance Studio via social media during lockdown and, as they were offering online Zoom classes, we signed up to help keep our son dancing throughout the restrictions. Penelope is a lovely teacher, offering lots of great advice and good attention to detail during the sessions - not usually easy to do via Zoom. Our son has really enjoyed the classes so far. They are challenging but in a positive way. The sessions are fast paced but time well spent, with questions and input from students encouraged. Highly recommend this dance school for online classes (if you aren’t close enough for studio sessions.) :)

   This is the most amazing dance school ever! My daughter has been going for a few years now and absolutely loves it! She does all styles of dance! The teachers are incredible with her, they really connect with the children and bring out the best in them. I especially like that each child gets their moment to shine in shows, for me as a parent the sense of pride at that moment is the best and overwhelming! Absolutely amazing! 10/10!
