What Dancers Say About Rona Hart School of Dance

4/5 from 12 Google reviews.

My daughter decided to take up ballet at 12yo when we moved here from New York. From the moment I enquired about my daughter taking classes up until 3+ years later I have been nothing but utterly impressed by the attitude, teaching and commitment of Ms Linzi and her team. My daughter is now doing 2 classes (she would do more if she could) a week and it makes her so happy. The balance between discipline, learning and having fun is just right. I love that it takes place in a low key venue with a pianist and that every term parents can watch the last class, which is not a show, but a normal lesso— Katie Malbon

It is already second year since my daughter has joined Rona Hart. She thoroughly enjoyes every class and I love watching her perform after each term. Classes are conducted with a teacher and a pianist. The grand piano in classroom gives even more beautiful ambience to all the little ballet dancers 🙂 You also have an option to take exams. I will definitely continue recommending Rona Hart to anyone who is passionate and interested in quality ballet lessons. Thank you to Miss Linzi Else- School Principal and all the teachers.— ZANNA BABAJANA

We have been coming to Rona Hart School of Dance since seven years. The ballet classes are very loved by my daughters. The teachers are very kind and professional and having a pianist makes the whole experience exquisite. Every two years Miss Linzi Else and her dedicated team put on an amazing dance production where all students can perform. It's also possible to take exams. The dance studio is hidden in a lovely building behind the church yard. We also appreciate the wooden dance floor.— Vien Cha

My daughters, now aged 11 and 9 years, have been doing ballet at Rona Hart since they were 3 years old. Miss Linzi's commitment and dedication during that time has never wavered. Her School is extremely well run, with excellent and delightful teachers. The girls are well prepared for their ballet exams and every other year take part in a wonderful dance show, which is a feat of organisation, with wonderful choreography and costumes.— Frances Sawtell
