Reviews

Loved by dancers and parents alike

Five-star feedback from our adult classes and children's families: patience, progress, and a place to belong.

★★★★★

After trying to find anywhere that did adult dance classes and trying a few out, I found Rachel's dance school. I've now been going to the adult tap and ballet classes for 6 years. Rachel creates a fun, welcoming class where everyone feels like they belong, and pushes people to challenge themselves, with exams and the annual showcase.

I joined Rachel Stanton School of Dance recently after having many years of ballet background, and I dance more confidently due to Rachel's amazing teaching. The ballet classes are very comfortable and you can tell Rachel is very passionate about teaching. My technique has improved lots. It's a great environment to learn in!

I joined the adult tap class after years of wanting to learn and Rachel has made me feel very welcome. Her patience and skill in teaching is immense. She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable, even finding time for extra lessons when required. A fun way to exercise and meet new people.

Adult tap

★★★★★

I started adult ballet and tap recently and can't recommend RSSD highly enough. Rachel is an exceptional teacher and so patient. I never thought I would be able to dance, never mind dance on stage! The classes are such fun and the ladies are brilliant.

Our daughter has been going here since she was 4 years old when we swapped her from another dance school. It was the best decision we ever made. She has come such a long way. The teaching, care and community are outstanding.
