Testimonials
"My daughter loves being taught by Miss Sarah and her team. The teachers are so dedicated and passionate about what they do. For me, I would whole heartedly recommend the school, because it is giving my daughter the foundation to understand/appreciate discipline and to acquire the confidence to succeed in life in whatever she chooses to do."
Diane Wilson
"My daughter has been dancing with Sarah-Jane for seven years, since she was five years old. In that time she has enjoyed ballet, modern, tap, street jazz and musical theatre – she loves it all! She has also taken part in various competitions and shows, gaining in confidence and enjoying working as a team. During this time she has made good friends with other pupils and built strong relationships with all the staff, as well as making excellent progress in dance. The atmosphere at The Lodge is one of discipline and hard work; the pupils take their dance seriously but they also have fun! I would definitely recommend The Lodge School of Theatre Dance."
Louise Reffin
"We moved our daughter in 2008 to join Sarah-Jane and it was the best move we made. Since joining she has achieved high grades in her dance examinations and danced in some amazing places. She has performed as part of a group at Her Majestys theatre in London, the Hexagon in Reading and the highlight was dancing at the Dance Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. These are all once in a lifetime experiences that she will remember for ever. Our daughter has made some great friends in her classes and they now socialise outside of the studio."
