What Dancers Say About Just Dance

5/5 from 9 Google reviews.

As a family we have danced with Lisa since 2009. My girls have loved each grade, show and presentation they've been involved with. Lisa makes it fun to learn but does inspire them to get it right as well. As an adult she really brings out the best in you. I love to push myself and have taken various exams with Lisa but also love the shows. My mum started "Silver Swan" ballet in her 70s and loves it too. Lisa also keeps herself up to date with ISTD and RAD syllabuses. She has kept us going throughout 2020 via zoom classes .— Rachel Hall (Fusiology Glass Art)

I can highly recommend Just Dance. My daughter started tap, ballet and modern lessons over 5 years ago and having been inspired by watching adult tap dancers in a show I decided to take up tap myself! Lisa is incredibly patient, supportive and the most brilliant teacher who caters for all abilities. I have loved learning a new skill and have made a whole group of friends. A fantastic local dance school which we are so lucky to have.— Rebecca Murphy
