What Dancers Say About DancePro Academy LTD

4.9/5 from 32 Google reviews.

I'd recommend DancePro Academy in Ware
My daughter has been going here for a few years, it really helped her overcome her shyness, she studied ballet, tap and modern and was good enough to take her dance exams at aged 6!
She also does Musical Theatre which she absolutely loves
The teacher is vastly overqualified which is very rare in the world of Theatre/Dance schools for children these days
In the summer, the school performed a massive show in Hertford Theatre which was amazing where they were joined onstage by one of the stars from Mowtown (I think the teacher has been in a few West End show— Terry Mahon

I can't recommend DancePro Academy highly enough. My daughter loves her classes, with lots of choice available – she's taken classes in ballet, modern, tap and street dance. The teachers are very engaging and she has done very well in her dance exams thanks to their support. She also has the opportunity to take part in performances – including two at Hertford Theatre – which she thoroughly enjoyed. It's a very friendly dance school, which my daughter has attended for five years now, which speaks for itself!— Emma Waltham

My 7yr old daughter has been attending DancePro musical theatre for a few years now. From the beginning she has looked forward to her lessons with Miss Gill. She has fun with her DancePro friends whilst also taking part in the yearly show at Hertford theatre and achieving success in her Lamda exams. During lockdown the zoom lessons and workshops were a welcome opportunity to keep learning but also to see some familiar faces. Thank you for all your efforts and looking forward to F2F lessons soon.— Claudette M

We have had the best experience with DancePro. My twins were really nervous after a bad experience with a different type of class but the teachers were just so so lovely with them and now the girls can't get enough of their ballet classes! Everyone we have encountered at the school has gone above and beyond to make it a fantastic experience and I cant thank them enough. My youngest can't wait to join and I just love seeing how much they enjoy it.— Rachael Tucker

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes, the styles taught here such as ballet, tap and modern are all learnt individually, so no partner is needed. Pupils develop their own technique in a group class setting.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothing you can move in, plus the right shoes for the style, whether ballet shoes or tap shoes, is ideal. The academy can advise on specifics for each discipline.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Fees depend on the discipline, class length and how many classes you take. Contact the academy directly for current rates.

Which dance is best for beginners?

Ballet and modern are common starting points as they build coordination and confidence that transfer to other styles. Many children here try more than one before finding a favourite.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

The academy's focus is largely on children, but adults often begin with a style that matches their goals and interests. It is worth asking what may be available for older beginners.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Moderate movement suits many people, though anyone with heart failure should consult their doctor before starting. A medical professional can advise on safe activity levels.
