4.9/5 from 17 Google reviews.

Our son has been going to MODE for many years now. We have watched him progress from pre-inter street all the way up to senior street! He loves MODE, he has made many friends there and it has helped to build his confidence. His favourite part of MODE is the annual show, he loves to perform on stage. Sarah and the team work so hard every year to pull off a fantastic show. Even during lockdown they adapted to online teaching to keep the kids engaged and involved. We would highly recommend MODE to anyone, especially any boys with an interest in dance. Would love to see some more boys getting invo— Francesca Pascoe

My daughter has danced with MODE for over 6 years and she loves it!! The teachers are all amazing, and brilliant at what they do! I have always felt she is in capable hands and the skills she has learned are incredible. The annual shows are always a pleasure to watch and so much hard work and effort goes into them!— Michelle Thomas

My daughter has loved dancing with MODE since she was a very shy 3 year old! Now a confident 9 year old, she looks forward to classes every week, and every single teacher of every single class has been amazing. We love the annual show too! Thanks to Sarah for creating such a warm and welcoming dance school.— Louise Hall

I’ve been a student at MODE for over 2 years now, after having some bad experiences with previous Dance school, I felt so welcomed coming to MODE. My passion for dance has just grown more and more since attending class at MODE. All the teachers are so lovely and so supportive and I learn so much each week💕— Jessie Hurlow
