What Dancers Say About Walsall Academy Of Dance

4.5/5 from 22 Google reviews.

Absolutely love this place. My daughter has been coming here now since the age of 3 she is now 6 and its her favourite place to be. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly and every one of the teachers are very talented and great with the children. The shows are amazing and its a great way to see just exactly how much she has grown as a little dancer. I honestly cannot fault this dance school, there are lots of incentives for the younger girls to encourage them to grow as young dancers and build their confidence. The feedback given at the end of lessons is always very constructive and individ— Tee R

Amazing talented staff, the teachers are fabulous, and give my daughter the reassurance that she needs to progress in her dancing.. classes are made to suit the age of the child, and I feel confident with the competency of the staff, knowing that they take the safety of my daughter seriously when performing in classes and shows. I was amazed by the talent of all the children when this was showcased, and it has given my daughter the inspiration and desire to perform, while fulfilling her excitement and fun of dancing! I would highly recommend this dance school to any excited little dancers out — Golaleh McGinnell

My daughter has been coming to WAD since October 2014 and she has progressed so much not just in her dance but in most aspects! It's taught her discipline, and plenty of social aspects she can put into practice outside of dance. Every member of staff senior and student goes above and beyond for each member of their classes and so much more effort goes into it than most places I took her previously. Always a friendly and helpful face at hand whenever needed. Feedback from every lesson she goes to is always readily available if needed and a lot of times the teachers will tell me off their own in— Amy Chapman

This is a really nice dance school. The teacher's are professional and attentive. However, a man walked through a changing area whilst my 13 year old was getting dressed to use the bathroom. I've also noticed that men are allowed to go in and out of the dance hall where the girls are rehersing. This may be innocent enough, but as a mother it makes me feel very unsure about my child's safety. If not for those incidents I would have awarded a full 5 stars.— Leigh P
