What Dancers Say About Fitchett Proll Dance Preston

5/5 from 24 Google reviews.

My daughter began her time at Sandham Fitchett 6/7 years ago. The teaching staff are fantastic, approachable and work so hard. The years she has spent here have been amazing. Currently working at grade 4 ballet and over her time has increased to include tap, modern and most recently acro. The confidence they have instilled in her is fantastic and she works extremely hard but also enjoys every minute she is in the company of anyone from the school. The bi-annual shows which the company presents are brilliant at showcasing the wonderfully talented kids and young people they have and I hope that — Andrea Brennand

A fabulous training in all gendre of dance is offered here, I myself was taught from the age of nine and secured a coveted teaching scholarship with the British ballet organisation, which was only achieved through the outstanding tuition miss fitchett provided, miss Proll offers the same professional experience and was also a BBO teaching scholar at the same time as myself, I would highly recommend this school whether you want to learn something new and finor want to later perdue a career in this profession.— Elena Wren
