Amazing dance school; so welcoming to everyone. No unnecessary pressure on the children; nothing but supportive. After signing my daughter up I also joined the adult classes which has been the best thing I have done. When I am dancing it completely takes my mind off everything else.

Alison DurningParent & Dancer

My daughter had sensory issues which caused anxiety but FDA welcomed her to join in, in whatever capacity she was comfortable. The turnaround and confidence she has developed is outstanding and all due to the nurturing and caring staff. We couldn’t be more pleased.

I have been attending Fox Dance Academy for the last 3 years and as an adult dancer, coming back to class, I was nervous but I didn't need to be.

Miss Caroline and all the teachers are so friendly and welcoming; they make you feel part of the family straight away.

Classes are fun and I've made so many great friends there too.

Jess BarlowDancer

I cannot express in words just how wonderful the FDA really is!
My daughter was once quite shy and didn't like people to watch her dance. But with the guidance, support and care from Miss Gemma she overcame her nerves and now we get to watch her on stage in shows and competing in solo dances! Thank you so much Miss G!

Amazing place. Moved here 5 years ago, wished I started here when I started looking for a school - as Caroline is a great teacher; loving, informative, creative, helps you with technique and direction in dance - love her.

Belle BrantDancer

After more than 10 years without dancing, I decided to join FDA for Ballet and Belly Dancing, and so far has been the best decision I have made. All the teacher are lovely and friendly and the classes are fun as you create a small group that is having fun as well as developing their dancing passion. Highly recommend FDA for any age.

FernandaDancer

My daughter has recently started with FDA after her previous dance class shut down and they have been amazing. We trialled a few classes before deciding which one she wanted to do and in the end we chose two classes as she loves it so much! The teachers are lovely and it is professionally run whilst still being very friendly.
