My daughter loves dancing with the Grace Kennedy School. The teachers are fantastic and very supportive. Her dancing has come on massively since she joined and her confidence has rocketed. The school is like a family, and I’m very proud to be a part of it.

My daughter loves attending here. She has grown in confidence since starting. All the teachers are encouraging and strive for girls to achieve the best they can. She has just finished the summer camp and absolutely loved it!
