Full Testimonials
My daughter joined Dance Arena at the age of nine when it
opened two years ago. She had no experience of dance and initially joined
tap classes. After only a few weeks she was enjoying it so much she decided
she would like to join in ballet and modern classes. Thanks to Gail for
being such an experienced, patient and kind dance teacher my daughter has
already taken several exams and passed with distinction and honours. She
has also made new friends and enjoyed taking part in the local pantomime. I
would highly recommend dance arena to any parents wishing to enrol their
child at a dance school.
Cath Avis
My daughter joined Dance Arena shortly after it first began two years ago
and has been an avid member ever since. She takes all the strains
available; and really enjoys them all. She also enjoys the extra-curricular
activities, from exams to panto opportunities and has made many new friends
as a result too.
Trina Batchelor
I would recommend Dance Arena as its good fun and good
exercise for children and a good opportunity to meet new people. My
daughter enjoys learning the new dances in a friendly atmosphere and Gail
communicates well with the children. The end of year pantomimes are great
fun for everyone involved and also a good opportunity for children to dance
on stage in front of an audience and feel they have achieved something good.
Mrs Bowers
I would highly recommend Dance Arena as my daughter
really enjoys all the forms of dance she studies with Gail, Ballet, Modern
and Tap. Her confidence has grown markedly; She has completed several exams
already and due to the enthusiasm that Gail shows in the lessons my
daughter practices at home, without prompting. My daughter has very long
legs and has hyper extensive knees but Gail has an excellent knowledge of
anatomy and physiology and so my daughter can progress safely. Gail has
also given her exercises to do to strengthen her legs which has also helped
with her growing pains. My daughter has greatly enjoyed the two pantomimes
that the dance school has been involved in and loves being on stage. This
added confidence performing in public has been noted at school. I therefore
believe that my daughter is developing skills which can be transferred to
other areas of her life.
Louise Keller-Jackson
My daughter has been to ballet classes from an early
age and by the age of eight was becoming bored and disillusioned. We then
tried Dance Arena and never looked back - she now enjoys not only ballet,
but tap and modern (jazz) as well, and has achieved excellent exam grades.
The opportunity to take part in pantomime, and national events has enriched
her experience and she has grown in confidence within this friendly
environment. I would definitely recommend Gail Marsden's Dance Arena to
anyone - Gail gives excellent attention to detail, expects quality and
discipline and has a very pleasant manner with the children and parents
alike!
Christine Bouckley
When my daughter first came she had little confidence in
dancing and was thinking of giving up. She never thought she would enter
for an exam. With excellent teaching and fun classes she is now really looking
forward to her first exam.
We make a 25 mile round trip - so it must be good!
