What Dancers Say About Crescents Ballet School

5/5 from 15 Google reviews.

I took my two-year-old granddaughter for her first ballet lesson, as you can appreciate she has not had a great deal of interaction with other children due to the pandemic so was extremely nervous, this was taken into consideration so she could get the most out of the lesson.

With a great deal of skill they managed to get Amilee to join in with the other children & partake in the class whilst I was in Amilee’s view.

I would definitely recommend to others and I can’t wait to see you all again next week.

Hopefully next week I will be able to sit outside with the other Nanas and mums

My daughter has been dancing with Crescents & Ms Jane since she was 3 years old … she loves every minute of it. Thank goodness Ms Jane and the Crescents Team organised FREE Zoom lessons almost daily throughout the 5 1/2 months of COVID-19 Lockdown … I am positive my daughter would have found the social isolation so much harder to cope with, if she hadn't had the opportunity to dance & interact with her teachers & peers. Her father & I have been so grateful that Crescents & Ms Jane have always, put their dancers well being before anything else.
