Our next auditions are on Friday 12th October at John Henry Newman Catholic College, Chelmsley Wood for entry in January 2019. With 3 amazing patrons on board who can guide our company members into professional life plus George & myself. A showcase each term, professional recording & filming experience, 1 full scholarship & 1 half scholarship up for grabs, what is there to lose?? We are not about teaching the children, this is solely a performance group, we will be getting stuck straight into rehearsals for our first video.

Well what can I say valentine has been part of our lives for near on 17 years Chloe joined at 4 a quiet little thing with an infectious smile and all these years later it's still part of her blood as a student teacher at valentine she's caught the teaching bug & found her true vocation! As for Nicole well what can we say, Claire saw her potential at 2 and she's flew - now at one Britain's top theatre schools and coming to the end of her first paid professional contract she owes everything to Claire and valentine as for us we couldn't speak highly of such a fantastic dance school which has been such a huge part of our family life!

Valentine Theatre School truly is a family. Not only does Ruby get EXCELLENT training but she is nurtured, encouraged and made to feel like she can achieve anything if she put her mind to it. Claire is proof that you can get the best out of anyone if you nurture them and show them what they are capable of. I highly recommend VTS and Claire to anyone who's child loves to dance whether it be a serious vocation or just a hobby and place to make friends.

Valentine Theatre School offers so many different opportunities to try all the styles of dance and there are many rewards for those who work hard and are committed. My girls have blossomed since joining Valentines; their dancing has really improved and they have a fabulous set of friends who love dance as much as they do. Claire and Terry run Valentines as a team and as a family, and this shows right through the dance school. Encouragement and support for all. Highly recommended!

This is my 3rd year now as a Valentino, craziest and most exciting 3 years ever ! Made so many new friends and my dancing ability has improved so much ! The support you receive even by attending the minimum lessons each week still keeps you motivated and makes you want to do more ! I started with only one lesson a week and am now in troupes and do many more lessons each week and even teach acro ! Thankyou to everyone at Valentines my teachers, other students and also mommies who are all super duper friendly and make me look forward to dancing each week :-) x x x

My daughter joined Valentine about a month ago after having a 6 month break from dance due to losing her confidence and love of dance. I have to say what a warm and welcoming school it is Kayleigh fitted in so well and so quickly her confidence has grown and love of dance is back. To quote my daughter "I feel like ive always danced at Valentine". Xxx

User

My daughter has only just started at Valentine's, yet within a week, she has been made to feel so welcome and included. The teachers are extremely supportive and the Valentine pupils friendly and kind, which has helped Brooke to feel part of the school within only a matter of days!

Brooke loves dancing and there are a huge variety of different classes and disciplines available here for her to choose from.

I would highly recommend Valentine Theatre School to anyone who has a child who is interested in dancing, whether it is to continue on to as a career, to keep fit, make new friends or to simply come and enjoy dancing!

User

My daughter has been coming for 6 months now and absolutely loves it and she has progressed so much in such a short time entering competitions and performing in London. Her confidence also has very much improved. Everyone is also really friendly and helpful, it is like a second family.

My daughter has been at this dance school for about 18 months she was so shy and timid but now wow she is so much more confident and has performed on the stage at her majesty's theatre in London West End and loved it xx

My daughter has been at Valentine Theatre School for 7 months now and absolutely loves it, she has learnt so much in that short time and her confidence has soared, the teachers and everyone involved are brilliant ŌÖĪ

Meg became a Valentino at the age of 4. She started with lack of confidence and shyness.....Well 11years later she has blossomed into a lovely,confident young lady and I believe this dance school had helped her too become just that.Not only has Meg made lovely friends so have I . Xx

Leah was a shy 4 year old when she started at Valentine theatre school. She has made many friends over the years. She adores Claire and all the other teachers that in turn have made Leah grow into confident and beautiful dancer. At the age of 13 now she is committed to Valentines which is like her second family.. A big THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.... ŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’Ė ÅŌØż’ĖÅŌØż’ĖÅ

Jessica started at Valentines when she was almost 5 and now, at 7, she is really enjoying her dancing. Everybody is really friendly at Valentines, and very welcoming, and this is what I think makes the school so great. The shows which are put on are fantastic - it's testament to Claire and the rest of the teachers and their hard work in shaping these.

User

I ve only just started at vts and I already feel like I've been there for years , everybody has been so welcoming and helpful - I've also made a new bunch of friends. The teaching is positive and the staff are just amazing. Can I just say a huge thankyou to everybody at vts , I hope my many years there in the future will be as great as they are now.xx

I have been at the dance school since I was 3. I love to dance, everyone is so kind to one another, I'm happy to have Claire as the principal because she works us really hard and it encourages us all too become better!!!!

Dolly has been dancing here from the age of 2 and a half years old and is 6 now. She Absolutely loves the shows in particular, and we love to watch all the girls hard work over the year come together. It's brilliant seeing how much they achieve as they get older. Thanks valentines
