😠 Do not take your children here! All these 5 star reviews are here because you get a discount when you sign-up if you provide one... It appears as a really nice dance school, but it just isn't. It's overpriced and it's all about the money. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere. People often mention dance, school, teachers, dancing, year, amazing, daughter, Emma, years, feel,

    My son recently started with Emma at ELS school of dance. He loves it, his confidence and skill has grown and Miss Emma is a darling to deal with. Emma's fun and friendly approach encourages my son to look forward to go to beginner hip hop every Thursday (:

    We joined ELS earlier this year and have loved watching the girls friendship grow while they learn and develop their skills. The kids all had the best time at the concert we will be dancing at ELS for years to come 💕💕💕 Thanks to all the beautiful teachers for sharing their passion and skills with us.

    My daughter has been dancing here for two years and the studio has become like a second home to her. ELS has an amazing and talented team who care about their students and provide a healthy and positive environment for their students to reach their full potential. I highly recommend ELS.

    When my daughter showed interest in dancing just before turning 2 I did some research and trials. ELS school of dance was by far ahead of the rest. The thought that goes into planning age appropriate classes is outstanding as well as the teachers themselves. Almost 2 years later and now my other daughter joining the family we couldn’t be happier. Both my daughters have gained so much more than just learning how to dance, the list is endless but they have also gained another family.

    Been with ELS school of dance for a year. The staff are amazing, always available to answer questions, reply to messages/calls and so helpful. The year was planned out extremely well. So many extra holiday programs which my daughter loved and the end of year concert lead up was well organised and so much information. Been to other schools with my oldest and by far ELS is the best. Highly recommend

    As a 27 year old coming into a new dance school after having danced in 1 school for the rest of my life, I was quite unsure about the leap. Both staff and students of ELS welcomed me with kindness and smiles and I felt at home right away. ELS have a super bubbly staffing team who are trained in various different styles and techniques, meaning a variety of different style classes are on offer. ELS have fully supported me, and have encouraged me to improve and perfect my technique while having many laughs along the way. I am so grateful to have been granted this new lease on dance life and highly recommend ELS for students of all genders and ages!

    Being with ELS school of dance has been such Positive experience for both my girls and myself. From the kind welcoming staff who have created a welcoming environment for families and great sense of community. The talented instructors really care about the dances and take time helping them grow. Both my girls have thrived in their chosen styles and their confidence has not only shined on stage but it has given them the tools to use these skills in every day life. I highly recommend this ELS dance studio.

    Our experience with the Princess Fairy from ELS at my son's 2nd birthday was enchanting! The kids were absolutely captivated by her presence and the delightful activities she brought along. She was not only dressed the part but also engaged the children with her storytelling, face painting, and magical games. Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious, making it an unforgettable experience for the little ones. It's evident she is passionate about what she does, and her ability to keep a group of toddlers entertained was truly remarkable. We're grateful for the magical touch she added to our celebration and highly recommend ELS for children's events. Thank you, Princess Fairy!

    We love ELS, our daughter looks forward to her toddler class each Thursday. The teachers are great & have helped bring my tiny dancer out of her shy shell. She remembers dance moves & songs and performs around the house just about every day. Thanks ELS we look forward to many more years dancing with you.

    My 2year old Sister Jersey whos face will light up everytime i say"Ready to go dancing with miss emma". She is obessed with ELS School of Dance that everytime we drive past it, she goes"Mummy dancing". If this school gives my little sister something to look forward to every week then they must be doing such an awesome job! Miss Emma makes her job look easy and you can tell the kids absolutely adore her,its such a fun and bright dance school and i know jersey will be going there till shes my age. Keep up the good work guys! your doing an amazing job! xc

    Thank you to The ELS Team for helping my little one ease into choosing the right dancing style and class to suit her needs and make her feel comfortable all whilst having fun and learning Jazz dancing. The environment is so welcoming, clean and very well thought out for all that utilise the studio. We are excited to join the ELS Family this year.

    I have sat through a lot of Dance concerts over the years for my nieces and this one was a shocker. Glad they have now moved on to a better school with better training. Edit: not sure how you expected to look them up under my name. I saw the concert last year at showgrounds and two years before that at a theatre Both were low quility, can not blame the corona lockdowns for that. I saw other schools concerts last year that were fantastic.

    My son absolutely loved his 1st trial. The staff members are incredibly enthusiastic and have created a welcoming environment. It's been a fantastic experience for our family.

  • 5/5 Erin S. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter has been attending ELS School of Dance for 3 years and enjoys the variety of dance types and the friends she has met there. She also has a soft spot for the teachers, especially Miss Emma and Miss Taylor who go out of their way to make her feel comfortable. Great family-oriented dance school!

  • 5/5 Jackie N. 1 year ago on Google
    ELS is not just a dance school, it is a supportive community for everyone. It is a space that allows my daughter to express her creative side, have fun, make new friends and gain confidence. The teachers are amazing and very supportive with the students.

    I love the feeling you get walking into ELS. Miss Emma’s warm and gentle nature makes the room light up

  • 5/5 Cherie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amelia’s time at ELS this year has been one we won’t forget, she has become so much more confident in her dancing made some amazing friends. The teachers for her classes have been beyond amazing, her ballet teacher; very patient, very encouraging, and very very supportive and made her ballet experience such a fun one. HIP HOP; her teacher was also beyond amazing, definitely brought the confidence in her and the ability to show off her dance moves not only in the class but also on the big stage at the end of year concert 🎶, which was a whole new experience for her as Amelia has never been on the stage before, and definitely showed of her attitude face ( which no teaching was required for that LOL) All the teachers and admin are very welcoming and very encouraging and organise such great events and dance moves for the children to do. Highly recommend ELS to anyone and everyone won’t be disappointed, the kids will have a blast and make such good friends.

  • 5/5 Jessica Van H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my 5th year at ELS and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As one of the adults, not only does it keep me fit but it also gives me a great community! I have made so many friends with the dancers and teachers. Through hard work with my teachers and fellow dancers I’ve been able to greatly improve my dancing and fitness. Thank you all for your amazing support and friendship!

  • 5/5 Sinead G. 1 year ago on Google
    We have been apart of the ELS community for 3 years now, when people ask me if we are happy with where my daughters dance,and my response usually then makes people ask if I work there as I hype it up so much - but the hype is 100% true & valid! Whether your child wants to just have an outlet to have fun and meet new friends or is an aspiring dancer, they will always be included and supported at ELS.

  • 5/5 Pembe K. 1 year ago on Google
    Emma and all the amazing teachers at ELS have been an absolute godsend for my boys. My eldest has a physical disability and struggles a lot however the girls were all so lovely and inclusive. They did everything in their power to include him, accomodate him and give him an amazing dancing experience. I really appreciate them and their beautiful natures for treating my boys with equality to others. My little guy just loves them and dance, he is ecstatic when it’s dancing days so his attitude to it all says how amazing they are. We highly recommend them to everyone out there :) Thank you ELS superstar team!

    So happy I found this place!! Emma is amazing to deal with and does a great job running this studio. My daughter has done term 1 in jazz and ballet classes and loves it. She also recently attend the school holiday work shop which she could not stop talking about all the fun she had. All the teachers are very friendly! Would definitely recommend this dance studio to anyone that asks!!

  • 5/5 Rachel C. 1 year ago on Google
    We are so happy that our girls dance with ELS, the teachers we have had over the past five years have all been so lovely and they always keep our girls motivated to turn up each and every week. They set goals together and help them to work on their technique tailored & specific to their needs. We love getting to watch the concert each year and see all the amazing work, collaborations & effort that comes together so beautifully! Always makes us cry with pride to see our girls perform. Will always recommend ELS to family and friends 💙💙
