Our Testimonials

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.

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!!!!

What do you like about doing your dancing? Pliés, jumping and tiptoes.

Heidi, Age 3

[My little girl] loves coming to ballet every week and that’s good enough for me, but I couldn’t believe how much she knew! She’s been showing all of our friends and family. The whole class were great and I just wanted to say you do a fantastic job. Keep up the fantastic work.

Danielle Coe

My daughter loves coming to Ballet lessons. The teachers are fun, vibrant and supportive. The lessons are her favorite 45 minutes of the week.

Emma, Parent

Gill’s adult ballet class is great fun and great exercise too. Gill provides a really welcoming and comfortable atmosphere so that everyone can join in, no matter what their level of ballet experience. Highly recommended!

Theresa Malone

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

Lauren Grace

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.

Jo Price

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

Josephine, Age 10

That was an absolutely magical performance, I cried all the way through what a special lady you are to create such a wonderful show for these children. Thank you SO much, it really was so lovely.

Charlotte M

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

I just wanted to say how amazing I thought the whole show was- Congratulations to all of you at Dance Pro Academy for an amazing weekend and thoroughly well deserved success! **** is absolutely shattered but so proud of herself as are we.

Kirsty Taylor

Baby ballet is a little gem of a class! My daughter loves seeing her friends and her lovely teacher Miss Lydia. She really has grown in confidence!

Jo, Parent

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

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

Congratulations on a fabulous show. What a wonderful experience

Talia Teren

My daughter has been at Dance Pro Academy since before she started school (she’s now nearly 12) and it is still the thing she looks forward to most each week. She started with ballet and now also does tap, modern and musical theatre. Miss Gill and all the team are fantastic with the children, both in their teaching and their focus on their mental health when needed. I hope my daughter’s teenage years continue to be spent dancing!

Lisa, Parent

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.

Gill's Mum

I was so impressed by the girls' dances! They truly were outstanding as was everyone else. My husband commented on the beautiful ballet outfits and he thought it was the best show yet! You are truly inspirational to the children and amazing at what you do!

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.
