Footlight has helped a very shy and timid little girl start to grow into a much more confident and happy child

My daughter has danced with Footlight Performance Academy since she was 3, she’s now 11 and still loves every minute. She loves dancing in ballet and Tap but also loves learning new tricks at Acro. Leanne and Dani are amazing teachers and have helped build her confidence over the years.

Footlight has brought my daughters confidence on leaps and bounds! Such a kind, nurturing, fun environment to learn to dance. Loads of extra activities all year round too. We love the wonderful teachers and beautiful friendships formed over these years.

All at Footlight show great warmth, encouragement and friendliness to the children and parents, we really have chosen the best Dance school, Thank you

Nina taught me dance from the age of four and is an absolutely fantastic teacher, always creating a very happy and relaxed environment for children to learn and above all have fun! Nina always encouraged me to reach my full potential with my dancing throughout my time at Footlight and for that I cannot thank her enough! As I got older Nina became a great friend as well as a teacher and has had a huge part in all that I have achieved!

Simply the best dance school around! My daughter has been going since she was two years old and I go to the adult DDmix dance class! The teachers are just wonderful with the children.

So today I took my 6year old daughter to her very first Tap and Modern dance exam! If you'd have told me that when she first started over a year ago as a really quiet, shy, little girl I wouldn't have believed you! Footlight Performance Academy welcomed us with open arms and paid special attention to my daughter in her first class to make her feel extra special as she was super nervous.. within a few minutes she was joining in and when the class finished she came out beaming from ear to ear! From then on she has looked forward to every single class and is usually the first to go in! All the teachers and teaching assistants are amazing, my daughter does Ballet, Tap and Modern with Leanne and she is such a great dance teacher, she is super talented and all the children absolutely love her as do the parents! I would highly recommend Footlight Performance Academy to anyone, there is no better feeling than seeing your child so happy and progress so much in her dance and in her confidence in every day life!

My daughter has been attending footlight for 3 years covering a variety of genres ballet, tap, modern and born to perform. She loves every lesson and looks forward to them every week. The teachers are amazing, the tuition they receive is second to none, they are so friendly and approachable and will always do the best for each student. Since starting dance my daughter has flourished and gained so much confidence and made friends for life. The older girls are fantastic role models and take the younger ones under their wings and it truly is like a family. We love being part of the Footlight Family.

My daughter has been dancing at Footlight for 13 years now, she started as a shy 4 year old and has grown into a confident young lady who adores everything about the school, especially the great friends she has made and the caring teachers. She is proud to be a teaching assistant and loves helping the younger pupils to develop. I am so glad we chose Footlight it has been an integral part of her childhood and we have both made friends for life x

Footlight has been a huge part of my life and has helped me in so many ways and that's mainly down to Nina. Everyone looks up to her and respects her and is an amazing dance teacher. Footlight would not be Footlight without her, an incredible dance teacher and principal!

Footlight is such a lovely dance school! It encourages children to be their best authentic self! The teachers are fabulous and it’s wonderful to see how the older children help and encourage children in the younger groups. It’s not just a dance school, it’s a dance family!

Our daughter Rosie (3 years old) has been attending for a few months now & absolutely loves the dance class. She has grown in confidence so much and comes home after every session with new moves and so much enthusiasm for how the class went. Thank you so much for all you do.

I have known Nina Thompson for 25 years since I started dancing at her school Footlight at the age of 4. She is a wonderful nurturing teacher, who knows just how to get the best out of everyone. Nina is encouraging and helps everyone to achieve their potential. She has always supported my career choice and helped me to believe that I could achieve my dreams. Her support has been never faltering, she keeps in touch with her past pupils and has been to see me in many of my professional shows, I owe this lady a great deal. She is an inspiration to all who know her. Not only is Nina extremely qualified as a teacher, but she is also a great friend and a fantastic pastoral figure to her pupils.

Well footlight is like a second home and the minute you join you become part of the family. It’s something you can’t experience anywhere else.
