2010
A great performance from Troupe members again at the Wetlands Trust in Washington - Saturday and Sunday 26th & 27th June 2010! Despite the scorching heat the girls performed a full programme of dance and musical theatre numbers. Staff at the centre commented on how professional the girls' all were and on their hard work! Special thank you to Emma - Jane (and trusty assistant Lucy Helen) for arranging the event! Particular thanks to 'MC Ruth' for her DJ skills! - Parent
I was a student at prima, I left last september to go to college, thanks to the dicipline, help and support from all the teachers in the school, I am now in a professional dance college, and I'm able to attend the long hours and the demands that my course requires of me. Once again thank you so so much, you, as a school have done more for me than I think you realise!! - Former student
Just had to email to say how refreshed my daughter seems after dancing today... she is buzzing and hasn't stopped talking about her classes, she loved the unset class and she had so much fun!! I find it astonishing that she doesn't get sick of all this dance, more so the amount of ballet and how you manage to keep it edgy all the time!! So well done to you and credit where its due. - Parent
Thank you for the continued support in her classes; training and development!! - Parent
I feel you are extremely good with the girls in your class and from what I understand my daughter loves it! - Parent

I don’t know where to start – I can’t tell you how wonderful Magic Moments 2010 was ! Tears of joy ( and pride) , laughter and huge applause – you can’t ask for more! I was thrilled with my daughter's recent scholar’s report and to see her progress on the stage last night was overwhelming! I wanted to thank you for your teaching and that of your staff – all have been a great support to my daughter. She lives for her classes – a great advert for Prima! Congratulations to everyone ! - Parent

Magic Moments 2010 was fab, all the little extras that can't be rehearsed are an added bonus for the audience although I am sure very stressful for staff backstage.

I really cant thank you enough for all the help you have given me since joining prima without your help and guidance i wouldn't be where I am so thank you so much - Student, aged 15
My children attend your school and I am impressed with the professionalism. - Parent
I thought the Summer school was excellent my daughter really enjoyed it. Hope you do another! - Parent
My daughter had great fun on this years summer school. She found it hard work, enjoyable and came on leaps and bounds. A truly magical experience. She can't wait for next year. - Parent
Just to says thank you for the ‘ summer school’ last week – my daughter was disappointed to only be able to get to 3 days as we were away earlier in the week but thoroughly enjoyed the time she was there !! Great idea – when’s the next one!! The performance on Friday was brilliant!! Thank you !! - Parent
Many thanks for the invitation to ‘Monkey moves’ open day on Saturday. My wife and I could really see how much our daughter enjoys her lessons! - Parent
Thank you for your lessons which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed. - Parent
I need to thank you for making ballet the highlight of my daughter's week and she is devastated that we have to leave and she will no longer be able to do princess ballet. All the best for the future and again thank you!!!! - Parent
My daughter has been going to these classes since she was 2 1/2. The teachers are great, extremely professional and have a great manner with the children. My little girl is going through a little bit of separation anxiety at the moment. Clare has been a godsend and still manages to get her in without fuss. Once she's in she's fine. Very and experienced and professional throughout a great recommendation! - Parent
The party went very well - all the girls were in their High School Musical uniforms. - Parent
I would like my daughter to do the Scholar Programme next term. Can I say my daughter has come on loads since last watch classes week and to get the feedback I have tonight I am over the moon for her, she certainly doesn't lack confidence. Susan and Nikki were lovely and have made my daughter want to dance a lot more. - Parent
Wow!!! What a fantastic performance from the dance troupe – really slick! Thank you for all your hard work. - Parent
They all love their classes, it is truly lovely to see them so excited about them so thank you again. - Parent
Many thanks once again for all your help, the girls are loving everything about your dance school, which is wonderful for me too! - Parent
Miss Nikki is great with the kids, my daughter enjoys her classes. - Parent
Thank you for 'Watch Classes' this week. It is great to see the progress my daughter is making in all her classes and that she still loves her dancing after 4 years. I was very impressed with BBO Tap on Wednesdays and the Graded Ballet on Saturday. - Parent

We just wanted to say thank-you, it was a lovely afternoon and we thoroughly enjoyed it, espscially the ballet of course! My daughter really enjoyed participating too, thanks for all the hard work it must have taken. - Parent
Just wanted to say how much i enjoyed taking part in the show last week. I really look forward to the shows and, in my opinion, the stress is worth it! - Student, aged 15
Magic Moments 2008, what an absolutely fantastic show! The secret they were told to keep definitely made me cry. Well done. - Parent
Just to say we really enjoyed the show last night and my daughter really enjoyed taking part. - Parent
Magic Moments was fantastic! - Parent
The show was great, your hard work paid off, well done. - Parent
The show was lovely...costumes were beautiful as always! I enjoyed the ballet and muscial theatre it is amazing what can be achieved in only 13 lessons and 2 rehearsals! Well done Clare and Nikki. - Parent
The show was great. My daughter can't wait to do it all again! - Parent
The ballet was fantastic! My mother-in-law cried all the way through and I didn't recognise my daughter she was so neat and tidy! - Parent
Just to say what a really lovely show it was today (12.30). We were impressed with the high professional standard of all the ballet and performing arts. My daughter enjoyed the total experience and I am sure will remember it for many years to come. We are all looking forward to watching it again on the DVD! - Parent
Thank you again, it's times like these that make me so proud as a Mum to see how my daughter is growing as a dancer... That's down to you Nikki and Susan so keep up the super work.... - Parent
Talent Quest was brilliant well done to all the girls who were there. - Parent
Well done everyone. It was a long day on Sunday but proved very worthwhile. Well done to all of the troupe members for their success in winning their groups and also well done to the individuals and groups which done excellent too. It was lovely to see all of the beaming smiles. - Parent
Thanks for another super day with the troupe, girls really enjoyed themselves... Bug dance super. Keep up fab work.... - Parent
Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful Dinky Dance Tots trial class which my daughter attended on Saturday. I must confess that I was a little apprehensive about how she would take to the session, but your warmth and professionalism won her over in no time! - Parent
Well done in obtaining Recognised School Status! I know all of the teachers work really hard to ensure our children receive the best dance tuition. The lessons are also fun so the children are eager to return. - Parent
Congratulations on achieving 'Recognised School Status' proud to be part of that status... also pleased that you are changing to the BBO this I believe can only improve standards and qualifications for the better! Well done. - Parent
I would like to say a big 'thank you' for putting on the lovely demonstration at the Galleries and giving my daughter an invaluable opportunity to dance and perform in front of so many people, which will give her so much more confidence, as have your teaching methods over the 4 years she has been attending your school. I have to say she lives for dancing as you have made it so enjoyable for her, and a welcoming place to be. Keep up the good work. - Parent
Galleries demo was a huge success - thanks for all your efforts, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the day! - Parent
I started my ballet and modern just over a year ago. I have loved every minute of being at Prima. It has not just improved my actual dancing, but my confidence, everyday posture and performance, really it has improved everything that is remotely related to dancing. I LOVE PRIMA!!!! I wouldn't be who I am now without it. Thankyou Clare, Nikki and Susan! - Student, aged 13
My daughter enjoys coming to Prima, she enjoys the lessons (especially the unset ballet on Wednesday which is a big hit!), she really likes the teachers and has made lots of friends. From my point of view, I think that the organisation and professionalism shown by yourself is excellent. - Parent
Another big thank you for putting on a lovely demonstration for the girls to dance at the Galleries... The dances and costumes were super and I am really proud of my daughter who loved every minute of the whole day. You work so hard to train and teach all the dances and it shows in the performances. We are very proud to be part of Prima, and over the last 4 years you have provided my daughter with a real passion to dance, focus and try hard with all she does. (what a life skill to have!) You should be very proud of the job you do... - Parent
Thank you so much for the lovely classes my daughter attended and thoroughly enjoyed. - Parent
The school website is very informative, looks very professional and is regularly updated, thank you for this valuable facility. - Parent
Prima totally changed my life; without it and it's amazing teacher's, I wouldn't be where I am today. Prima (and all to do with it) taught me not just how to dance and perform but to enjoy activities outside of school, socialise, gain experience and have FUN! Clare and the other teachers encouraged me to persue dance as a possible career which I am traing to do. I owe everything I know to Prima! Thanks a million Clare, I'll never forget you. Miss everyone tonnes, keep dancing babes! - Student, aged 16
My daughter is in the Dinky tap class on Saturday mornings at Oxclose school. I am thrilled with the class and she has loved every session. Susan and Nikki are brilliant with them. When it was the parent's watching class I couldn't believe how fabulous the whole class performed. It truly brought a tear to my eye to see my daughter do so well. - Parent
I love Prima... and my teachers! Dancing is part of life now and I look forward to my classes 3 times a week. I do tap, ballet, modern, musical theatre and unset ballet. Thank you. - Student, aged 6
Your school is miles better than any of the dancing lessons around here, the teachers are far better they engage with the children and get the best out of them whilst making it enjoyable, your classes are smaller, and you are also much more organised so everything goes much more smoothly. So I'll be sticking with you and commuting! But I wondered if there was another dance class which my daughter could do either just before or just after her new class to benefit more from your fantastic school. - Parent
The Empire performance was great, my daughter enjoyed it, the dances were lovely. - Parent
Just a quick message to say thank you for last Saturday's wonderful Empire performance - I know I am bias but the girls were brilliant and I appreciate the effort you have to put in to make it all happen! - Parent
Congratulations on Saturday’s performance – I loved it all and thought the girls were brilliant! - Parent
I didn't want my daughter to miss her class. She loves it so much and watched a full hour of Darcy Bussell 10 best ballet moments and insisted on wearing her ballet shoes. - Parent
I just to say thank you for giving my daughter the opportunity to Dance in the performance on Saturday night. The dances all look very professional and well rehearsed. keep up the super work. - Parent
Thanks for taking care of my daughter yesterday. Wow! It was a fantastic and very impressive performance by all the troupe - a credit to yourself! - Parent
