What The Parents Say
SJP Theatre Arts is an exceptional dance school. My daughter has attended from the age of 5 now 13. She would dance here 7 days a week if she could! Not only teaching inspirational dances but drama and singing too. SJ has a very special gift .... a unique teacher, you honestly couldn’t wish for a better role model for your children to learn from. Fun, exciting, relaxed atmosphere where every child shines. SJP Theatre Arts has it all the highlights being ‘The Christmas Show’ Easter and Summer school workshops and performing at Worcester Wolves basketball events.
Natasha Archer
I can honestly say that I am so thankful that SJ and Katie were recommended to me. Our daughter, Caitlin, attends private dance classes for young people with additional needs. Whilst dance has its obvious health and wellbeing benefits for Caitlin, it has been amazing to see the growth, not only in her ability, but also in her confidence. Private lessons offer a great way for Caitlin to learn at her pace and teachers are professional and experienced in a safe, nurturing environment. Caitlin's teacher encourages the best out of her and demonstrates a great understanding of Caitlin and her needs. It is wonderful for Caitlin to not only experience the joy of dance and performance, but to also have the opportunities to obtain certificates for her achievements which she is very, very proud of. The support and teaching is fantastic - SJ and Katie are friendly and welcoming and we highly recommend.
