Testimonials

Kate Stark

Our two daughters have been attending the wonderful Cumbria Dance since they were 3 years old.
Now aged 8 and 7 they are still very keen and their Saturday ballet, modern and tap lessons are the highlight of their week.
Debbie and Rachel are the most wonderful, caring and kind dance teachers. The confidence and self belief they have instilled
in our girls will stay with them always. It's by far the best, most professional dance school there is and comes highly recommended.

Rachel Sharp

Lacing up my tap shoes, making friends, a growing sense of self confidence. Fond memories of attending Cumbria Dance
as a teen have stayed with me. Debbie and Rachel are inspirational teachers and after enrolling my daughters it has been
wonderful to watch them gain confidence as they explore their imaginations through dance.
It's also great fun to practise tap steps together!

Jenny Patrone

I have such fond memories from training at Cumbria Dance and they certainly put me on the right path to my career.
With a wonderful balance, Debbie always encouraged and nurtured my determination to dance professionally and
couldn't have done it without her.
I always look forward to going back to the studio and it feels like home whenever I return.
