Bearfoot School Of Performing Arts

My daughter started at Bearfoot at 2 years old with ballet, and a few years later, modern classes too. The teachers at Bearfoot made my daughter feel comfortable, unpressured and managed to coax a huge amount of confidence out of a child with a tendency to shyness. I couldn't believe my eyes, and was totally overwhelmed when she performed (at 7 years old) on the huge stage at Harrow Arts Centre in two numbers in the school's showcase performance this year to an audience of hundreds. She was so proud of herself and it has really sparked her joy of performing, she can't wait to perform on stage again! I really do think this has be to down to the teachers, as she has been to some dance classes before where the strictness of the teachers has turned her off of the classes completely. They seem to have the perfect combination of encouraging them to perform to their highest ability and giving them lots of support and understanding. The children are also really encouraging and kind to each other which the school obviously initiates. Definitely give this school a try if your children have any little bud of dance, song or performance in their soul, Bearfoot will help it blossom for sure. Thank you Bearfoot. x

My little girl has been going to ballet classes with the bare foot dance school for about a year and a half. She is now nearly 4. She adores her teachers and cannot wait to go to her lessons each week. In fact shes disappointed when there are breaks. It is perfect for her as there isnt that strict element which most dance schools possess. I personally feel that this harsh approach often deters children when it comes to them gaining confidence in performance. I couldnt recommend this wonderful school enough!

My daughter joined Bearfoot in 2003 and will be leaving this year. It has been an amazing performing Arts School where each child is treated as an individual. The high level of performance was evident in their last show. The teaching standards are excellent and their commitment and support have been 100 % in helping my daughter moving on in her future career. I would highly recommend Bearfoot as a brilliant performing arts school, we will miss the teachers and classes very much.
