“We couldn’t be happier with Grove Studios. Our daughter joined when she was just four, and she’s flourished in every way — not just as a dancer, but as a confident, kind, and motivated little human! The variety of classes keeps her excited every week, and the growth we’ve seen in her is incredible.

There’s a real sense of community at GSG — it feels like one big family. The older dancers are so caring and supportive of the younger ones, especially during holiday workshops and performances. They’re like mini role models! Jacqueline and her team are not only talented and passionate teachers, but they genuinely love what they do — and it shows. They’ve created something truly special here.”

My daughter has been attending classes with Jacqueline for 4 years, she has moved through the grades and taken exams with amazing results. She has grown in confidence and been encouraged ever step of the way. Not only has my daughter got a hobby she loves, she has made new friends and is part of a dance family. I would highly recommend Grove Studios.

My daughter has been dancing at Robyn Academy since she was 3, and now at 8 years old she’s thriving! She takes part in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Performing Arts classes, as well as competitions, all taught to an incredibly high standard. The teachers are so skilled, encouraging, and genuinely care about your child’s progress and wellbeing.

What I love most is how much she enjoys it – not just the dancing, but also the experience of performing, learning new routines, and being part of a team. The confidence, discipline, and friendships she’s gained are invaluable.

I can highly recommend Robyn Academy for any parent looking for a dance school that combines top-level training with a friendly, inspiring atmosphere.
