Silke, Mum of Maya 14
Maya has made great friends at East Sussex Dance and now attends classes 4 days a week. I am very happy with the school who are organised and good at communicating with parents. Alex the teacher is great with the kids and as well as performing in shows Maya has enjoyed learning Ballroom, Ballet, Jazz, Street Dance and Rock and Roll.

Emma, Mum of 3, Brighton
My son (10) does ballroom, latin and a weekly private lesson and my daughter (4) attends a disco streetdance lesson for the under 6's. The teachers at East Sussex Dance are so good with the children - very warm and welcoming, and treat them all as individuals. They inspire the children to be "as good as they can be". My son is a very good dancer and they challenge him in his lessons to improve constantly. All the children I know love attending the classes and they are really good value as well.

Fleur, mum of Olivia (7), Saltdean
Olivia has been taking classes with East Sussex Dance for two years now. She loves to dance and really enjoys her ballroom and disco lessons where she has made some wonderful friends.
Both Alex and Marcus are excellent teachers and know just how to bring out the best in their students. They provide a happy and encouraging environment where you can learn at your own pace whilst having the opportunity to participate in medal tests and school productions.
I have no hesitation in recommending East Sussex Dance to anyone looking for a vibrant, inspiring and nurturing dance school. -
Yasmin, mum of Colombo (8), Rodmell
My son absolutely adores his ballroom lessons. Alex's style has the perfect mix of strictness & fun to get them to pay attention, learn the routines & still love going. It amazes me the things he is learning. It's also really good to see so many other boys in his class.

Emily has been dancing with Alex since she was in Year 8. One of the best things about East Sussex Dance is that Alex provides such a wide range of different dancing styles to try and is very supportive. She has given Emily such confidence in what she does and this has extended to all areas of her life. Emily is now continuing to study dance at college and still studies many styles of dance with Alex. Alex has built a wonderful relationship with Emily who trusts her and her judgement.
