I can’t recommend Alanna’s theatre and dance studio highly enough! It offers a variety of dance and theatre classes. Alanna and other teachers are absolutely wonderful with children – patience and gentle, they cater for different skill levels and they make the classes fun! The studio itself is clean, colourful and welcoming. The staff makes the children feel special. It has been amazing to watch my son and other children grow, they gain confidence, focus and skills! My son has been going to this studio for 3 years and he absolutely loves it. I have been going to the adult classes which are equally amazing! The classes are well structured, but also flexible. No matter what level of skills you have or a complete beginner, this studio individualise to help you grow!

Attending the ballet class has been an absolute joy. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was welcomed with warmth and encouragement. Miss Alanna’s expertise and passion for ballet are evident, creating an environment where learning feels both inspiring and attainable.
The class structure is thoughtfully designed for the kids’ development. I appreciate how each session challenges our granddaughter while fostering a sense of accomplishment. Thank you dearly.

Great price! We have done about a term of classes here and I couldn’t recommend it more. Alanna has a wonderful way with children and it’s a joy watching how much the kids enjoy themselves.

Miss Alanna truly has a magical way with young ones—they adore her! I truly appreciate how she’s able to remain so calm and patient with a room full of toddlers, and how she manages to herd them into different dance activities that keep them engaged throughout the session. Notably, Miss Alanna is super inclusive of little siblings and makes an effort to ensure they never feel left out. THANK YOU for a fun a year! Kids age: 2 (with a 1 year old sibling)

My daughter loves her acro (gymnastics) lessons at Alanna’s studio – Alanna and the other fantastic teachers are supportive and kind, and the biannual performances help the kids work towards a goal together. Highly recc.

My daughter loves dancing with Miss Alanna. Shes been dancing at ATADS for over 2 years and has done tap, jazz and ballet. Miss Alanna makes the classes fun while teaching the kids to dance. She’s a fantastic (and very patient) teacher!

My daughter loves ballet but is a bit shy. Miss Alanna is so patient and caring and encourages her to have a go. We are so pleased we have joined and my daughter loves the class.

Miss Alanna is just brilliant! Both of my kids come to classes here and couldn’t be happier. She offers a great timetable, fun and engaging classes and is so kind and patient with the kids. We will be members here for years to come!

Alanna’a Theatre and Dance is fantastic. My kids have been attending musical theatre classes and school holiday programs for a few years now and they love it. Miss Alanna is an incredible, hard working, dedicated teacher who makes classes lots of fun. Highly recommend.

Alanna and her team at ATADS are delightful. My daughter is so happy going there and learning to dance in a very friendly, warm and professional environment. There are so many options to choose from: ballet, tap, jazz, acro, theatre etc! Such fun and in a great location and studio.

My nine year old daughter can’t wait each week to go to Miss Alanna’s classes.  Whilst the classes are fun, inclusive and relaxed, my daughter’s examination success this year is proof that Miss Alanna is a disciplined and knowledgeable teacher. My daughter achieved distinctions in both grade 2 Musical Theatre and grade 3 Voice examinations from the Trinity College London Examinations Board. Miss Alanna makes a team-building and creative learning environment where my daughter’s confidence has flourished.  I have no hesitation in recommending Miss Alanna’s classes to you.  Dr Jacqueline Horan.
