My daughter tried various dance schools before we found GDA. I expected her usual pattern lasting a year or so before becoming disillusioned. We’re now in our 7th year and she is as enthusiastic as she was when she first started. Hazel and the other instructors are patient and work to get the best from each student. My daughter continues with ballet and added jazz when she first started in the last year she has added contemporary to her list. Hazel knows all the students and is so welcoming. It has been a joy to watch my child blossom under the tutelage of this school . Exams are available although there is no pressure to take them if your child doesn’t want to. I cannot recommend GDA highly enough. Thank you from one very proud mum.

My daughter started with the academy in September last year, and was part of the Seniors in the show in May. she has made an enormous amount of progress in such a short time. The show was fantastic! I had several friends with me and they were blown away by how professional it was. Thank you so much Shona Hazel and Katie. Looking forward to Anna's next steps !

Daughter has attended GDA for just under a year, absolutely loves it! staff are clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. Daughter has just done her first dance show and it was amazing. wouldn't hesitate to recommend GDA students are nurtured and cared for with passion.

My daughter has been attending GDA classes for the past 4 years and has enjoyed learning dance skills, making friends and developing her confidence along the way. Hazel and her team have done a great job working with my daughter and I've been so impressed at the high standard displayed at the end of year dance shows, which have provided great performance experiences for her and a big confidence boost to finish off the year.

My daughter has been attending GSA for 6 years and it has always been a wonderful experience for her. We just had the end of the year show and what a production! I was very impressed with the dancers, but you can really see all the effort put in by Hazel and her team. Amazing show and classes through the year, always.
