What Dancers Say About INK Dance

5/5 from 9 Google reviews.

I’ve been dancing with INK for six years now and I’ve loved every single second! The vibes in open class are amazing, everyone is so full of love and I look forward to dancing with my friends in a super supportive environment every week. The training programmes on a Sunday have helped me massively to develop as a dancer and improve my confidence as a performer, learning from loads of different choreographers, each with their own unique styles. Throughout the lockdowns of 2020/21, Suzy has kept people motivated through live classes, instagram posts and an online platform to learn routines, ensu— Jade Bucknall

My daughter joined a few months ago after attending another dance school for several years. Was abit worried it would be a bit too intense as my daughter has various issues, however I am pleasantly surprised at how inclusive the classes are. Suzy is super enthusiastic and creates a team atmosphere where everyone is included, my daughter has improved immensely since joining and it has been a massive boost to her confidence. I cannot rate them highly enough.— Shona

INK is absolutely amazing, after years of not dancing I decided to get back into it with INK’s ‘Beginner’ class and it is honestly one of the best things I have ever done. Suzy is incredible, the most positive and caring person I have ever met and I always leave the class feeling brilliant. It is such a friendly, positive and warm environment at INK everyone is so lovely and supportive. Would 100% recommend to anyone and everyone! ❤️— Brogan Lawton

I started going to open classes at INK just over two years ago, and I remember how welcoming and supportive everyone was and continue to be throughout all the classes. I am so grateful for all the training INK has provided for me, from constantly being pushed with new choreo to working on performance INK has really helped me grow as a dancer!— Heidi Goodhill
