What Dancers Say About Allesley School Of Dance Coventry

4.3/5 from 29 Google reviews.

This is a family run school that has wonderful staff and teaches children to dance properly so that they can progress through the grades and have a great hobby by attending a couple of times per week or also the choice to train to a very high standard to fulfil their dreams of being a professional dancer. Read the reviews from children and their parents who love their classes and by the way ignore the occasional trolling … It's malicious and probably planted intentionally… This school has been running for 60 years and Lizzie Pearce is the daughter of former Principal and her leadership— Alison Dougall

I have been dancing at this school since I was two years old and in that time I have learnt the most essential values of hard work, resilience and kindness. The principal Mrs Pugh has helped me grow, not only as a dancer, but as a good person as well. I have made life long friends and enjoy every experience I have. This school consistently provides a welcoming environment for all and I would definitely recommend especially as a 11 year old student who has true experience in how this school really is.— Ruby Jordan

It was my fist session of ballet for adults last Monday and I loved every single minute of it and I can't wait for another lesson. All are so friendly and ballet teacher very very good. I need ballet lessons for helping me with my figure skating and after just one session I notice significant improvement in my posture. I knew from few of my friends that are a dancers and figure skaters that this is very good school and I definitely can confirm that.— HeE hEe
