“My daughter joined last September and she has grown in confidence and really enjoys the musical theatre and Spotlight Theatre. She performed in her first ever performance and loved it. Everyone at Dance in Motion is very friendly and welcoming.”
“Excellent dance school. Cannot recommend highly enough. Both my children dance here. It feels like a lovely family atmosphere and the principal knows every single student.”
“This is the best dance school in the Midlands. Wonderful, caring teachers who the children absolutely adore, and Miss Gemma dedicates her life to our children and dance.”
“Warm, welcoming, top quality teaching and a total family feel. Our second home.”
