What Dancers Say About Streetz Ahead Dance Academy

4.8/5 from 25 Google reviews.

My daughter started dancing with the Principle of Streetz Ahead Michelle Hawkes 13 years ago. She initially joined the Street dance class when she was just 3 years old and there has been no looking back. This progressive dance studio has literally become her 2nd home.

Whilst her first experience was with the Street dance class, she soon developed confidence and started Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz classes. She is also part of the Street competition troupe and attends (along with my 3 sons) the weekend theatre school ‘Find Your Feet’ where they enjoy singing, dancing and acting.

My daughter — Jo Palmer

My son has been dancing with Michelle and Ashley for over 2 years. When he started he was fairly shy, he wasn’t sure about taking part in dance shows etc. He started with the tumbling class.
2 and a bit years on he now does tumbling and street dance and he has taken part in the Lord Mayors show in London twice, a low level show and he is excited about performing in his first proper show this year.
Michelle and Ashley have been encouraging and helped build his confidence and skills.
He tried a few different studios before feeling settled here.
A lovely bunch of kids and teachers and I would hig— Niki Sehmi

Michelle has taken Streetz Ahead from strength to strength. Winning many awards over the years. She has created a fantastic environment for all of her students. Streetz ahead have performed at many of my event over the last 8 years. They are the act that people look forward to the most. With their perfectly polished performances. Which Michelle has spent hours perfecting.
