Dance Act - Reviews

See what our parents and students say about Dance Act

Sept 2023 Our daughter has been attending classes at Dance Act for just over 5 years. During this time she has not only developed her dancing ability in ballet, tap, street dance & modern, but she has also matured as a person and gained the confidence to perform on stage. We will always cherish the moment we first saw her perform at the Stag Theatre during the Dance Act Variety Show in May 2022. Having heard all the jumping around from her bedroom and being told to “go away” during her lockdown lessons, (yes, the school managed to provide online lessons during this difficult time), we were absolutely gobsmacked at how our little girl was all grown up performing so elegantly on stage. Not only were we impressed with our own daughter, the talent on offer from the Performance Team at this show was simply amazing! In the past year, our daughter has been fortunate enough to become a member of the performance team and has continued to develop. She thoroughly enjoys being a part of this talented group, has visited various theatres in the UK and has even performed at Disneyland Paris. We had no idea that, what we thought was just a small dance school down the road, and similar to many other dance schools around, was such a professional organisation. The teachers and volunteers are brilliant and it is a privilege to be part of the Dance Act Family.

Sept 2023 Both of my daughters attend Dance Act and I cannot recommend them more highly. All staff are supportive, professional and welcoming. They nurture the children and get the very best out of each and every child. It is like a big family together and the shows and charity events are a wonderful opportunity to showcase the children’s talents. Thank you for all your hard work.

July 2022 E absolutely loved every minute of the show and keeps asking when she can go on the stage again! It was a fantastic event and it was wonderful to see all the children showcasing what they have learnt. It was brilliant to be able to watch E confidently at 4 years old get on the stage in front of an audience and dance. I danced as a child and young adult and so it was extra special to see Eva up there! I might’ve even shed a tear 😪 (happy ones of course!).

A huge congratulations to you and all the team that make the show happen, I can imagine it wasn’t easy! Well done for a brilliantly organised event and for all the really helpful emails and support along the way. The costumes were amazing and E looked so cute in hers. I really enjoyed chaperoning and being able to help behind the scenes too and look forward to helping out again next time.

May 2022 A slightly belated, but nonetheless heartfelt, message to say thank you so much for giving the children the time of their lives this last weekend and congratulations on producing such a magnificent show!!

I and S loved every minute and were both asking me to do more dance classes when they came out. It was wonderful seeing all the children so happy and excited backstage - it was quite an amazing feat. I know so, so, much work went into this but it totally paid off! We all loved watching it too - the older girls are quite amazing.

May 2022 I just wanted to thank yourselves and the whole Dance Act team for the fantastic work and effort put into the performance last weekend. We were “blown away” with the quality and professionalism of the whole event.

You should all take pride in the fact that, with your help and dedication, young girls, and boys, with an interest in dancing at a young age can develop into the stars of tomorrow. Not only do they mature as dancers they also develop wonderful social skills whilst being part of the Dance Act family.

It was a fantastic experience for Cand she made us all very proud. Although she practices at home, we have never really seen her dance. She looked so elegant during her ballet performance. it brought a tear to my eye and made me burst with pride.

There were obviously some very talented dancers in the performance team. Some of the routines were amazing. My personal favourite was “Survivor” which was not only beautifully performed, it was so atmospheric and simply stunning!!! Seeing these performances will no doubt give the younger dancers an insight into what they can achieve and be something for them all to aspire to.



As a chaperone, it was also a real pleasurable experience to be a part of such an event and allowed me to give something back.

Well done to all and thank you once again, you should all be very proud.

May 2022 I must just say congratulations and thank you so much for the wonderful show this weekend. I was truly blown away by how fantastic and professional all the dancers were and how emotive and magnificent the music and choreography was. It was an unbelievably excellent show and what you do for all those children’s’ confidence and empowerment is outstanding.

Eabsolutely loved being a part of it and has well and truly caught the bug. His face was a delight to watch - he was really in his happy place! He came out begging me to sign him up to tap dancing classes!

May 2022 Congratulations to you all for an amazing show yesterday. My family and l thought it was utterly brilliant! The girls and boys were all so professional and worked so hard. They are a credit to you. The work that has gone into the production is immense and wholly appreciated.

Aug 2020 - My Daughter has been dancing with dance act for 6 years. During her time she has danced in 2 variety shows at the stag in Sevenoaks and has been lucky enough be invited to dance at Disneyland Paris and Sadlers Wells Theatre in London. All of this would not have been possible without the support and teaching of the fantastic dance teachers. Fridays are her favourite day of the week as she gets to dance and see her friends she has made during her time at the dance act. Since being back after Lockdown I have complete confidence in all the dance teachers who have provided a safe environment for her to learn. The extra measures that have been put in place have made it a safe place for her to get back to dancing during these strange times. Highly recommend! Amy. Visit Google to see more reviews

Aug 2020 - My daughter has been attending Dance Act for 5 years and it has been a great confidence builder for her, she has made great friends getting great results in her exams and had amazing opportunities to perform in different theatres. They are a great team of teachers who encourage the best out of all the children.

They have been amazing with the communication throughout Covid-19, keeping parents and students up to date with changes and recommendations for all to return safely. I have been confident in the return to studios knowing they are going above and beyond to keep everyone safe and up to date with the every changing regulations and guidelines, Rebbecca.

Feb 2020 - I’ve been at Dance Act now since I was three and I am now 15 and I can honestly say it is one of the things I most thankful for and I am so proud to be a part of. It is now my 10th year in the performance team and I’ve had so many incredible opportunities like performing at the Royal Albert Hall and successfully auditioning for pantomime and the English Youth Ballet. I’ve made life long friends and incredible memories. But it’s all down to the best teachers Vikki and Fiona, who I have idolised since I was three and still do to this day. The teachers have not only helped me discover what I love the most (dance) but have shaped me into the person and dancer I am today and have taught me life lessons I will never forget!

 Aug 2017 - My little girl Victoria, is 4 years old & started Disney Pop almost a year ago and she still loves it as much as she did at the beginning. She's always excited to go and shows us all her dance moves back at home. Along with being a great hobby, it has helped Victoria with co-ordination skills such as skipping and balancing. Overall a fantastic dance class and dance team. Visit Netmums to see more reviews

Aug 2017 - My daughter who is 15 now has been with Dance Act since she was 8 when she started an after school dance and musical theatre class and now has lessons in Ballet, Jazz/street, Tap and Modern and absolutely loves it. A few years ago she was lucky enough to be invited to Dance Act's fabulous Performance Team and has since performed at such amazing venues as The Royal Albert Hall, Sadlers Wells, The Stag Sevenoaks, The Hawth Crawley and is looking forward to performing at Disneyland Paris next year! Not content with that, she now also helps with Disney Pop and Baby Ballet so to say dance is her life is an understatement! I have no doubt that this is because of the wonderful teachers, especially, Vikki, Fiona, Kelly and Emily, the incredible facilities at The Howard Venue, Hextable, and the lifelong friends she has made since joining Dance Act. We're so proud to be part of the Dance Act family and would highly recommend Vikki and her team! Visit Netmums to see more reviews
