“I
started
dancing
with
Miss
Mandy
at
the
age
of
8,
having
previously
attended
another
dance
school.
I
really
enjoyed
the
way
she
made
the
classes
fun
and
engaging
as
well
as
making
sure
our
technique
was
spot
on.
She
made
it
easy
to
remember
the
exercises
but
was
very
patient
those
times
when
we
didn’t!
I
would
highly
recommend
her
as
she
was
&
always
will
be
my
favourite ballet teacher.”

“I
was
so
inspired
by
my
time
at
AJS
Dance
Academy
that
I
completed
a
BA
Hons
Dance
degree
when
I
moved
on
to
university.
I
would
not
have
taken
this
amazing
path
if
it
hadn’t
been
for
Mandy
...
I
gained
certificates,
qualifications,
skills
and
confidence
that
will
stay
with
me for life.”

Dance
Academy
I
felt
safe
and
loved.
All
the
teachers
were
really
nice.
Miss
Mandy
was
always
warm
and
welcoming.
She
always
pushed
us
to
achieve our best.”

“I
took
part
in
an
adult
tap
class
which
was
run
purely
for
fun
and
exams
were
not
taken.
‘Miss
Mandy’
was
such
an
inspiring
and
enthusiastic
teacher
that
my
Thursday
evening
classes
became
a
very
important
part
of
my
week
...
We
formed
good
friendships
and
I
have
stayed in touch with many of the ladies.”
— ALISON ROBERTS, DANCER
“Dancing
at
AJS
Dance
Academy
was
a
big
part
of
my
life.
And
working
as
a
teacher
was
such
a
great
honour.
Classes
were
always
fun
yet
full
of
discipline.
All
the
students
were
always
having
a
great
time
and
it
was
so
lovely to see the joy that dance can bring to someone.”
— PHOEBE WEBBER, DANCER
