What Dancers Say About Dance Stars

5/5 from 11 Google reviews.

Super friendly affordable dance school, various age groups from tiny 3/4 year olds to a new seated dance class for the more mature dancers.
My daughter was a novice when she joined at 9 years old and has learnt many skills to improve her confidence through dance. We have made many friends in the lovely family feeling classes.
From learning basic steps to doing her own choreography to allow her to appear in the yearly dance show with beautiful costumes, exams and exciting competitions.
We would certainly recommend Dance Stars to anyone who’s thinking of joining a local dance school with a hard— Yt

My youngest son has been attending Dance Stars for several years now, and he absolutely loves it (and adores his dance, teacher, Kimberlie). He's taken part in two of their annual shows and started doing dance exams – it's really helped build his confidence!

More recently, an adult dance class has also been added, and I really look forward to going every week and learning a new routine each session. Fun atmosphere and you really get a workout while improving your stamina, posture, and energy levels, as well as your confidence.

Cannot recommend Dance Stars highly enough for all age groups, fr— Kell Smurthwaite

Dance stars has changed my sons life! He joined in 2018 as an emotional, shy, under-confident boy who doubted himself, but he has learnt how to use his emotions to express himself through dance and is now a mature, confident person. I honestly believe without dance stars he would still be the super shy person he was back then. It has given him the opportunity to make good friends, and something to focus on. I can’t thank Kimberlie and the dance stars enough for making him feel so welcome and for helping to bring him out of his shell. If I could give it 10 stars then I would!— Kelly Igbinidion

An amazing dance school that starts with a very talented and supportive teacher, always encouraging and nurturing the pupils, filling them with confidence, smiles and happiness. My daughters have grown in confidence as dancers and as young women with the support of this school, they have made the best of friends for life and are having so much fun. The pupils are fantstic, kind, caring and respectful with a great attitude to their lessons and the parents are hugely helpful and supportive, more of a
dance family than a dance school— Nicola Anderson
