My daughter has been dancing with this amazing team of teachers since she was 3 years old. They have nurtured my daughters love for dancing and have encouraged her to try new things. DSPA provide such a wide variety of classes and the teachers are so creative. She loves all the different opportunities that she has experienced. They have been extremely supportive during the challenges we have faced with COVID this year through providing online lessons. The main thing is that my daughter loves it and loves the teachers. She leaves every lesson bouncing! Mum of Eloise, aged 9.

Dawson School of Performing Arts is an amazing dance school. It is nurturing, whilst still encouraging the children to aim high. My daughter has had some fantastic opportunities and her confidence both on and off the dance floor has grown so much. Cannot recommend this dance school enough!

My daughter has been attending the dance school for 4 years. It has been a great confidence boost for her along with gaining amazing results in her exams. The school have provided her with great opportunities to perform on stage/in theatre’s along with being part of their performance team entering into competitions. All the teachers are a great team and encourage the best out of all the children. My daughter loves attending the studios and continues to develop in all areas of dance. I am so glad we found the perfect dance school. Mum of Lucy, aged 7.

My daughter had her first taster class at DSPA in 2017.  Three years later she now participates in 13 classes a week, has private lessons and is a member of the performance team. She has been given so many amazing opportunities over the years and has made memories that she will never forget! The teachers are so committed and focus on bringing the best out of the children both in terms of their dance ability and their personal development. They care so much about them and go above and beyond to make sure that they not only reach their potential but also that they feel happy, safe and confident. The studios are my daughters second home and she absolutely loves every single lesson.

My daughter has been attending DSPA for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys it. There is a great atmosphere of support and encouragement at the school and a wonderful balance of having fun whilst learning and making progress. The students are taken through exams and assessments without feeling undue pressure and are encouraged to reach their potential. The teachers are kind and an inspiration to the children they teach. Most importantly my daughter loves going and dancing every week, staying fit and having fun! Mum of Jane, aged 8.

A fabulous, fun, friendly and professional dance school. Dawson School of Performing Arts encourage the children to follow their dreams and dance like no-one’s watching! Would highly recommend to anyone my daughter absolutely loves it.

Louisa Short

I cannot recommend this dance school highly enough. My daughter moved to this school 4 years ago and since then her confidence, technique and enjoyment have climbed from strength to strength. The teaching is exceptional, where teachers encourage and inspire the students and provide opportunities outside of the dance syllabus
