What our clients say…

“We, as a family, absolutely love Dance Dynamique Academy. Our daughter has been going since she was four and loves all the various classes. She is learning so many new skills beyond just the dance moves. Her confidence has come on so much and, through Miss Fiona and her assistants’ teaching, is now thriving in the groups. DDA has a unique family feel to it, which is evident each week, and especially strongly during holiday camps and dance shows, when the older students help to mentor the younger ones, who look up to them as much as they do the teachers. Miss Fiona, and her assistants, are passionate dance teachers, with a wonderful skill for passing on this love of all things dance to both children and adults alike.”

“My girls have been attending DDA dance classes for the past 4 years. They absolutely love DDA classes. Miss Fiona is fantastic with the children making classes fun and engaging without too much pressure. They have learnt so much not only about movement and posture but also how to work together in a group. DDA is not just a dance class, it’s a dance family!!”

“DDA is a fabulous dance school; super supportive, friendly and encouraging – it’s like a family extension! The seniors are brilliant role models for the little ones, it’s just a wonderful environment and Fiona is such an awesome teacher and role model herself. She welcomes everyone and helps the kids (and adults) to share in her passion, whether in lessons or when putting on the amazing shows – it’s infectious!”

Past Student Stories

I started at DDA when I was 10 years old, 12 years ago! It’s helped shape and mold me into the person I am today, and I am so grateful for that. The friends you meet at DDA are truly friends for life, I don’t know where I would be without the incredible people I’ve met and get to call my friends, and it is amazing to watch younger students experience the same; finding their forever friends and making the best memories at dance class! I started off in just two classes and very quickly seemed to be wanting to do every single class that DDA offer, this is down to Fiona and not just the high level of teaching she brings, but because she is a wonderful person to be around, me and friends at DDA find ourselves just wanting to make her proud! DDA has given me the confidence to try new things, encourage and support others and always believe in myself.
 
Some of the best and most fun experiences I’ve had whilst being at Dance Dynamique have got to be the dress and tech rehearsals for all of the shows we have done. Being on stage for the first time and watching everyone after months of hard work is really rewarding and exciting. It’s the time where you can see the show and everyone’s hard work really come together. Seeing all of the dancers in their costumes and the feeling of being backstage with your friends is amazing and such a fun experience.

“My daughters have been involved with DDA for two years now and they absolutely love it! Miss Fiona is so positive and enthusiastic, and they adore the older girls who support in their lessons. It was particularly lovely to see everyone working together and looking out for each other at the show, it’s really just like one big, happy family!”
