My 7 year old daughter and 3 year old son are both part of the Marilyn Jones Dance Centre family and they absolutely love it! They participate in a wide variety of dancing styles and singing classes. There are fantastic opportunities to take part in regular shows as well as working on technique and progressing through official exam grades. The teaching staff are all highly skilled, wonderful with the children and help to create a supportive and nurturing environment for the pupils to shine. It’s lovely as a parent to see their confidence and self-esteem develop and to watch their friendships g— Joni Wilkinson

My daughter started to take classes here a few months ago and the progress she has made in that time is amazing. Not only that, she has been made to feel so welcome by the teachers and students alike.
