Parent

"As a parent whose daughter has progressed from babyballet into RNSD, we have loved watching her confidence grow. The transition was seamless, and she has felt supported and encouraged every step of the way.
Our daughter looks forward to class every week and always comes out smiling. She has enjoyed ballet, tap and freestyle, as well as the opportunity to perform on stage in a fun, positive environment with no pressure—just encouragement to do her best and be proud of herself.
The school feels like a real dance family, and Miss Nuttall is a wonderful teacher and role model. Her passion, support and pride in the girls shines through in everything she does."
