Testimonials
"The most amazing dance company. The pure joy that Miss Katie brings to my daughter is priceless. We can't thank the teachers enough for all their love and support they show our daughter. There's no place she would rather be."
"My daughter attends multiple classes here and has done for a year now. It’s a gorgeous school, fantastic friendly teachers who are so good with all of the children. The venue is gorgeous and fab parking which is always a huge plus! The shows that ADC put on and the awards shows are such a bonus for my daughter."
"I couldn't imagine a friendlier dance environment. Miss Katie and her team are so welcoming and have a wealth of knowledge. I am so pleased I found this dance school - and 100% recommend!"
"From the moment my daughter started at Appleby Dance Company in 2021 she has flourished in so many ways. She has gained confidence, skill, creativity, self esteem and mostly the loveliest friendships. Miss Katie has built an inclusive environment where the children are encouraged by all the dance teachers to have the most fun while learning. I can't recommend ADC enough!"
"Both my daughter and my son have danced with Appleby for several years. I have watched them both grow into confident and talented kids who love coming into the studio. Miss Katie and her team make them feel so special.
Beautiful facilities with some of the best dance teachers in the North East. The teachers make the effort to get to know each kid in their classes making sure they achieve milestones and grow in self confidence."
My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves coming to Appleby. The classes are well structured and fun and Miss Katie and her other teachers are all very talented and great at what they do! I’m so pleased we have started her off on her dancing journey at Appleby and highly recommend it to other parents looking for an organised, professional & friendly class!
"The BEST dance school! My daughter has thrived and built so much confidence in herself since starting with Miss Katie and her wonderful teachers. Always supported, encouraged and welcomed into an amazing environment.
Always a smile on her face coming out - what more can you ask for?"
"If you could choose the most fabulous primary school teacher to teach your child dance you'd do it wouldn't you? Well that's what Appleby is. Miss Katie makes even the most nervous child relax and all of the classes are fun and full of giggles and hugs.
My 4 year old joined less than a year ago and absolutely loves it. Her confidence has gone from strength to strength thanks to Katie and Lauren. Whether you're looking for tap, jazz, ballet, commercial, lyrical or another style of dance - I can't recommend Appleby Dance Company enough!"
"My twin girls joined ADC in January and have been welcomed into the most loving dance family ever. Miss Katie is a phenomenal teacher. She makes both girls feel so welcome and gently encourages them to try new things. ADC is so inclusive and Miss Katie not only allows them to become ballerinas but actively encourages all members to be kinder, more humble and better little humans. Couldn't ask for a better dance company."
The best dance school in the world! My daughter has been going to Appleby Dance company since it started up. Miss Katie, Miss Lauren, and Mr Luke are such fantastic teachers and have helped to bring my daughter out of her comfort zone and develop some amazing new skills. My daughter is part of the comp team which has been amazing to see her grow on stage. I wouldn’t hesitate to send your child here. It’s the best decision we’ve ever made!"
"My daughter started at Appleby Dance Company at 4 and she really wanted to do ballet but was really scared. I cannot explain how wonderful Miss Katie is. She has put my daughter at ease, helped her come out of her shell and made sure she is certain to have the biggest smile every Saturday morning. I can’t recommend this dance school enough. Miss Katie and Miss Jacqueline care so much about every little person who walks into that studio. I can’t thank you enough."
"I searched and searched for a dance company for my daughter. Dancing is in her heart mind and soul and I couldn’t have chosen a better dance school to join. I went with my gut and I’m so pleased I did. It’s all she ever does and talks about. I asked what classes she wanted to do and she said all of them. She loves each and every one! Miss Katie and Miss Jacqueline are the loveliest of people. She’s made new friends, and she’s absolutely thriving already. I can’t recommend Miss Katie’s dance company any more, it’s amazing and we’re so excited for her future with you all."
