What Dancers Say About Motionhouse

4.8/5 from 4 Google reviews.

My daughter has been attending circus class since trying out a summer workshop. She absolutely loves it, every week she comes out beaming with excitement to tell me what she's learnt that morning.

She describes the class as "lots of learning but in a really fun way, not like school". She speaks of all of the teachers very fondly and said they are the coolest people.

I've always found everyone there to be professional and helpful. Safety is a high priority which I appreciate and communication is very easy and straight forward (they have a staff mobile during lessons also).

They are very pati— Unapologetic Me

I saw block in Leicester and I loved it so much— Fee Zebra
