My children have attended LDA since they were small. The staff have always been patient, kind and understanding towards their needs and individuality. The children have grown in confidence within themselves and as performers. I cannot recommend LDA enough for children who want to dance and who may need a little extra support.

Since her early days of learning to dance on her own via YouTube, my daughter Issy has grown so much in terms of confidence and ability!

The teachers are kind and helpful, and the learning environment is one that is fun, safe, and secure. The Christmas shows were thoroughly enjoyable, and I've loved seeing my daughter grow in self-assurance and—gasp—even consider switching from football boots to ballet shoes—even if only once a week!

Many thanks to all the crew for all your hard work.

Totally recommend La Tragna Dance Academy, my daughter Ella absolutely loves it here and enjoys every minute of it!

Her confidence has come on so much since starting dance here and all the dance teacher’s are wonderful and so friendly.

Such an amazing place to come if u want to learn to dance and ballet Xx

This is an fantastic dance school; it’s professional, friendly, there’s always a good atmosphere, and you can tell that all the students are enjoying what they’re learning and doing.

Melanie and the other teachers are encouraging and instil so much confidence in the students. Two of my daughters currently do ballet and tap here. They are totally different characters yet the La Tragna team have, and continue to, nurture and teach in a way that has made them both thrive; they really enjoy their weekly classes and have achieved so much already. Everyone is treated as an individual.

Thoroughly recommend!

My daughter really enjoys her dance sessions in ballet, tap, musical theatre and drama. The school is very friendly and fun whilst supporting children to build confidence as well as work towards grades.

The school principle, Melanie, is lovely and goes above and beyond to help in any way she can.

Melaine and her team are amazing! My daughter Olivia is doing tap and ballet, they support her and give her the confidence to push further.
I would highly recommend them to start yours or your child's dancing dreams.

As a new term begins I have to write to let you know just how much joy the La Tragna Academy has brought our granddaughter.  She was part of the preliminary classes last year and her pride when she achieved her ballet award was awesome.

Her confidence has grown so much and we look forward to her blooming in this new year

Sarah Matthews

We totally recommend LaTragna Dance Academy.

Our daughter Emily, has enjoyed dance lessons here for many years - in a number of styles including Ballet, Modern and Contemporary Dance.
She has loved taking part in performances and shows and is now completing her Dance Teacher Training with Melanie.

Emily’s love of dance has grown and grown and she has now been offered a place at a Dance School to continue to live her dream!

We could not be more thankful to Melanie and all at LaTragna Dance Academy for all their lessons, inspiration, opportunities and support.

My daughter’s technique and performance skills have developed and improved leaps and bounds in the kind and highly skilled environment of La Tragna Dance Academy.

The teachers have shown her understanding, compassion and fun during her dance classes whilst gently advising and steering her each step of the way. We look forward to seeing how far she will go with her dance as La Tragna encourage her to reach her full potential.

Thank you so much to all the dance instructors at La Tragna Dance Academy.

Melanie Delve

Two of my daughters originally had Melanie as their Dance Teacher when members of Star Train. One continued into young adulthood as a pupil of LDA and achieved amazing results as a performer and in her dance exams.

Melanie instilled a love of performing in my daughter, who gained so much confidence and skill that she went on to study Performing Arts at Petroc and then gained a place at Arts Ed in London where she achieved a degree in Musical Theatre.

Melanie continues to take a genuine interest in all her students when they move on and even travelled to watch Heidi in her final show before graduating. Many of Melanie's older pupils return to their roots to take part in LDA's local shows.

True examples of mutual respect and thanks for what they have achieved.
