This is an fantastic dance school; it’s professional, friendly, there’s always a good atmosphere, and you can tell that all the students are enjoying what they’re learning and doing.
Melanie and the other teachers are encouraging and instil so much confidence in the students. Two of my daughters currently do ballet and tap here. They are totally different characters yet the La Tragna team have, and continue to, nurture and teach in a way that has made them both thrive; they really enjoy their weekly classes and have achieved so much already. Everyone is treated as an individual.
Thoroughly recommend!
My daughter really enjoys her dance sessions in ballet, tap, musical theatre and drama. The school is very friendly and fun whilst supporting children to build confidence as well as work towards grades.
The school principle, Melanie, is lovely and goes above and beyond to help in any way she can.
Melaine and her team are amazing! My daughter Olivia is doing tap and ballet, they support her and give her the confidence to push further.
I would highly recommend them to start yours or your child's dancing dreams.
