Fantastic school and teachers - highly recommended! Gill is a fantastic dancer and teacher- such an inspiration to the children. I would highly recommend DancePro Academy to anyone!

My daughter attended a different company last year, and I can see what a difference DancePro Academy is. My daughter really likes going, I spot her putting her ballet shoes on and doing her dance positions at home on her own and has even learnt the names of the positions! The teacher has an excellent way with the kids, is friendly, very organised and efficient, and has always a show or workshop on the go, so it is a very proactive academy. I would definitely recommend.
Marta Gil-Sanchez
Fantastic dance school. My daughter has been there since Miss Gill started the school and absolutely loves going to class each week. She has learnt so much and enjoyed participating in the show. Gill is amazing with the children.
Sarah Gaskin
My daughter loves the Mini Musical Theatre classes and has really enjoyed learning some dance moves with all the other kids. Gill’s incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about dance and that comes through abundantly in her teaching.
Steve Ash
I have known Miss Gill for a long time now and I know that, for her, dance has always been more than a hobby. It has been a life-long passion. Now her performing days are over she is eager to pass on that passion to the next generation. The life skills and discipline helped her through the troublesome teens and into adulthood. I have seen some of her work and that of her students and am really impressed by their hard work and dedication. Yes, I am her mother and am, perhaps, a little biased. I could not be more proud of her and her pupils. Dance is for everyone and above all fun but the other lessons learned alongside it truly are life enhancing.
My Mum
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this weekend. It was so much fun to be part of and **** loved it. She came home and said it was so much fun and loved being with all her friends. The performances were so impressive and the music choices were great. I can’t wait for next year and to see what the kids get up too. Thank you for all your help and patience
Emily Baho
My daughter absolutely loves her dance lessons and has learned so much body control, balance and rhythm. Gill is truly a great teacher.
Saija Mahon
Thank you Miss Gill for making one little ballerina a very happy girl. She loves your classes and asks every week how long it is until Tuesday so she can get into her ballet and tap shoes again.
Lisa Hill
I cannot recommend enough this wonderful school of performing arts. Gill is an excellent teacher with a very rare gift of engaging with the little ones. My daughters although different in age love their respective dance classes. I have watched my little girls blossom in confidence and ability. I feel very lucky to have found this school and privileged that my girls are part of it. Cannot wait to see them progress further while having fun.

My daughter loves her classes at DancePro Academy. As well as teaching her to dance she has made great friends and really grown in confidence. It has been so lovely to see and I cannot recommend Miss Gills classes enough!
Kerrie Calladine
My daughter has been part of the DancePro Family now for nearly six years. She started out with mini musical theatre and now does 3 classes a week. She absolutely loves them and adores Miss Gill. Her passion is obvious and mirrored by the students- it's infections. She is a fabulous teacher and a lovely person. We are so please to have found her!
Amy and Betsy
My daughter was just turned 7 and very shy when she started ballet with Miss Gill. Now, 18 months on, she's performed in a show on stage and passed her first ballet exam with a merit! Her confidence has grown and she loves the classes. Miss Gill really cares about her students and is brilliant with them, I highly recommend Dance Pro Academy.
Kirsty
Gill and her colleagues provide a fantastic musical theatre experience for all children. My nearly 4 year old little boy absolutely loves her classes. He has so much fun and runs in each week! He reinacts the classes at home! It has also helped his overall development, socially and physically. Skills such as language, balance, social interaction and confidence have all improved through the classes. Most of all, he just has a wonderful time!
Lizzie Hastings
My daughter has been attending Dancepro Academy now for 3 years. She has learnt so much in that time as well as doing exams and performing in shows. She always comes out of her classes on a high. Miss Gill is everything you could want in a teacher - enthusiastic, fun, knowledgeable, creative and a master at keeping discipline when she needs to! Highly recommend

Theresa Malone
Just to congratulate you on a great show!!!! Having watched it this year I can honestly say it was adorable!! You should be so pleased!! Well done you!!!!
Amy Jakeman
Miss Gill did a fantastic job on the DancePro Show. The show allowed all the children to and they had a great time practicing and then performing. My daughter does a lot of after school activities but she loves this one so much. Miss Gill is great with children and has a gift for knowing everyone’s name!!!!
Katie Coates-Maclean
I think the school is a reflection of your character and ethos. Everyone should, of course, be proud of their personal achievement but the collective achievement is directly attributed to your ability, ethos, direction and general manner.
You clearly have a true love of dancing, it’s clear you also have a lovely attitude to the children being little people with individual needs. You are also a true professional Gill that is quite obvious.
I think you should give yourself a big pat on the back. Birds of a feather flock together and I think you are attracting the right crew. That’s great for all concerned. What a wonderful school you have created.Jo Torres
My daughter and son take classes with DancePro Academy. They both love their classes and adore miss gill!! Her passion, talent and enthusiasm is catching! Couldn’t recommend more! Amazing teacher and amazing academy! Have told everyone to go along. Amazing and Gill should be really proud!
