What Dancers Say About Phyllis Davies School of Dancing

5/5 from 2 Google reviews.

Our girls have been attending the dance school after learning ballet and tap at another dance school. This other school however good was a very formal environment and the the girls interest was starting to wane.

My wife and I decided to see if a change would respark their enthusiasm and it did. Rather than be a strict environment, it is a fun environment whilst teaching them discipline and self confidence.

Our girls could not be happier. Thank you Phyllis— Chris Addis
