   Tried to book dance lessons by emailing Wendy directly and had no response for nearly a week so I called her mobile and she explained I’d have to book online for Siobhan’s classes as my children are too young for her sessions. So I tried to book online but the website wasn’t allowing me to continue with the booking as the booking process was password protected. I emailed Siobhan and she replied saying existing customers are prioritised first and then she will contact everyone on the waiting list (which there was no mention of or option to join on the website) and after she has done that, then the classes would be open to general public, but there was no further information given on how I could join the waiting list or when the priority period is over so the general public can book. I was actually very surprised by the unprofessionalism in Siobhan’s email, was not a very welcoming or informative email she just explained why there’s a password protecting the bookings. There are very good reviews for this school with no bad reviews at all for a dance school that’s been running for over 30 years, which in itself should have rang alarm bells but I now understand why this school has no bad reviews, since leaving a negative review for the unprofessionalism I received, Wendy replied to my review but also took it upon herself to email me threatening me with legal action for defamation if I don’t remove or edit my review within 7 days but my review was a reflection on the level of service I received from this company. And I have not told a single lie to defame this business. Rather than seeing this as a learning curve and an opportunity to be more friendly and welcoming to newcomers they are fighting me with excuses and threats. From the reviews everyone seems to be dancing here for years, very few feedback of any newcomers and now I understand why.. and in future Wendy don’t threaten people for leaving bad reviews, it’s not illegal to share a bad experience.

   Such a friendly dance school/academy. Myself and my partner have had dance lessons for our wedding and Wendy has been superb. Didn’t think we could create what we have in such a short space of time. My partner who is no dancer, has really enjoyed it. Wendy is absolutely amazing at what she does, she puts you at ease and listens to what you want, or maybe not want. We’ve had a wonderful experience and we can’t thank you enough. Pam & Richard x

   We only joined Wendy's adult dance class a few weeks ago, but we are having such fun learning new dance routines with Wendy and Kelly, our amazingly patient and talented instructors, and although the group we have joined are at slightly different skill and confidence levels, we feel blessed to have been accepted into the sessions, thank you all, Heather and Eylah

   A friendly, warm and welcoming dance school from babies right through to adults. There is something to suit everybody and their needs/wants. My daughter dances here the same as I did as a child and continue to do so as an adult and there is nowhere else I would choose to go.
