“I started Kuk Sool Won in March as a way to take my mind of the stresses of work. I was quickly made to feel really welcome by everyone especially the instruction team. After a few months I decided to bring my 2 very different kids along which was a great move! They both love it! One is more athletic so loves that element of it while the other is more sensitive who really enjoys learning the techniques and forms. For us it has meant we can all share something positive and we even occasionally have kuk sool play fights so it's been great to bring us together. I struggled to get "the sensitive one" into any activity so the fact that he has taken to Kuk sool has been great from a parents point of view to see the development in him over the past few months has been really positive. I couldn't recommend highly enough from an individual, family or kids perspective there is something for everyone.”

“This is an absolutely excellent dance school, my daughter has been going since the age of 1! Her confidence has grown so much and she has met a lovely group of friends. The teachers she has had are so friendly and nurturing with the children, always including everyone even on their off days. I catch my little girl practising her dance moves around the house and it makes me burst with pride. I know she enjoys it and she has the biggest smile on from the moment she gets her uniform on. All the staff have been very friendly to us, it is a clean and safe space and the equipment is great. Highly recommend and I always recommend to parents.”

“Great gym with loads of equipment & plenty of space. Cafe on site & plenty of parking. Changing rooms are good, but a little difficult to find if you don't know where they are, signage isn't great, but overall a great gym”

“My daughter has been going to Claire Anderson for many many years, she loves the classes and does various dances during her Saturday class, she does ballet, majorette, free style, highland and tap. Her confidence has come on so much. She loves the teachers, Claire is so good with the kids, she is so patient and explains everything so well. It’s so much fun and they even get to do dance shows with costumes and it’s all so well organised. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks Claire”
