I can't commend Penelope's Dance Studio enough for their dedication and hard work. My 2 daughters love the place and they enjoy every moment with them. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic they have been very proactive and they tried their best to keep our daughters fit...

Thank you! Every student holds a special place within our dance family and I have been overwhelmed with the hard work and results from our regular zoom sessions! Both of your beautiful daughters apply themselves so well in-studio and equally with remote learning via zoom. Genuinely so pleased with the progress of both and look forward to helping them achieve each week on their dance journey's!

My daughter dancers at penelopes and has never been happier going to dance class.
Miss penny and Miss kate are very professional and deliver structured classes.
My daughter has come out of her shell and made massive improvements due to support provided at Penelopes.

Tiana started in October after going for a photo shoot there. She absolutely loves Miss Kate and Miss Penny they are both brilliant with her and you can see how much the young ones love them both and are truly inspired by them. I have seen so much progression in Tiana's techniqie and confidence so much so that she auditioned for Royal Ballet Junior Associates and made the short list. This would not have been possible without the dedication, foresight, endeavour and continuous efforts of Miss Kate and Miss Penny
