Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
