"My daughter loves dance and without it lockdown would have been so much harder for her to deal with. So many of the children are working towards their next exams and will now still be able to take them and progress to their next grade which is just fantastic!"
"We are so grateful to Mrs Brewer and her team for enabling our youngsters to dance their way through lockdown. Lily's lessons are the highlight of her week, and to be able to log-in to see familiar, cheery faces, dancing in unison, to the beautiful music of a live pianist, has helped keep her spirits up when so much of normal life has been paused."
"Ballet coming back during lockdown was a lifesaver. A small glimpse of some “normal” in an upside down world. Mrs Brewer has been wonderful in keeping us Covid safe but also making sure the girls had fun. One of my children has special needs so the chaos of the last year has been doubly complicated for us; ballet has kept her on “routine”. Passing exams is amazing, but that’s just icing on the cake. What's realy amazing is the care and effort that BDA put in to bringing ballet to us in the most difficult circumstances."
"As a working parent, online ballet lessons have been extremely welcome, especially when homeschooling started up again. Ballet has been one of the few forms of exercise that Olivia could continue in lockdown, and it has really helped break up the long winter days when she has been attending lessons online sitting down all day."
