Dupont Dance Stage School

What an absolute nightmare today was! My daughter was booked before Christmas to have a trial session here, after a lot of confusion it turns out they had no idea she was attending as this had not been communicated between staff. Parents are not allowed in the building due to covid which is understandable however dropping a 4 year old off and leaving her when they had no contact details for me or even know my child’s name, shocked me. They now have a waiting list for the class my daughter was booked on months in advance but due to their mistake her name was not included (in hind-site this was clearly for the best). I have no idea how she got on in the class as you do not get to watch or speak to the instructors. It’s such as shame as I was expecting so much more from this place with all the good reviews it had received.The part they are referring to below was my reaction after being shouted at by the owner/manger’s daughter when she did not understand what had happened. I am 6 months pregnant, I waited for my daughter to finish, i was given endless apology’s for their mistake, I gave my email address because I was asked for it and I left in tears. I had no intention of ever returning/sending my daughter here. Aware of their behaviour they knew this review was coming, it’s fair a factual review hopefully one day they can learn from.

I was introduced to Dupont over ten years ago, and I could recommend no better place for dance training. They provide a safe and professional environment for any budding young dancer. The teachers and staff are incredible, and my daughter loves every moment spent here.

Would highly recommend Dupont!The teachers are incredibly passionate and will get the absolute best out of every child. Regular exams so they are always advancing, and an amazing annual show that all the children absolutely love!I would say if you are looking for a dance school, at least go along for a trial. We did that 6 years ago and have never looked back. As soon as you step into the place you can feel the energy and enthusiasm from all the students, and the exceptional standard of dancing from every pupil.

this is the best dance school ever. they have taught me so much in dance but also valuable life lessons. i will continue my training until i am 18. this school has such great teachers who help each and every student with care. the training is of an excellent standard and the success rate in exams is unbelievable.

Its all thanks to Dupont it's who I am today. Despite the school belonging to my grandmother & now my parents, I can genuinely say that Dupont really is THE best school to be at. The discipline, structure, professionalism & care which each & every class at Dupont offers, has had a crucial part to play in the jobs I have done since leaving. Not many places prepare you for the real world, however Dupont's couldn't have prepared me more. I learnt from a young age to have respect & manners for anyone and everyone and to not be a quitter, to remain disciplined and focussed and not be distracted by others around me. Talent is embraced & nurtured and people's lives are changed at Dupont. I have friends all around the world who envy the schooling I had. Professional dancers who are now principle artists & soloist for world renowned companies envy the schooling children at Dupont's have and keep up to date with the school and love following their progress. Without discipline, not a lot can be achieved. Displaying discipline in the classroom shows the care the teachers have to to help the children reach their full potential. I am now a teacher at Dupont & I see all the behind the scenes work that goes into providing the children with the best teachers, structured class & timetables and most importantly the care and love for each and every child. I am truly lucky to have had Dupont as my second home growing up and i will be ever indebted to the school for successful my career path.

My daughter has been dancing at Dupont for nearly 10 years and has loved every moment of her time with Team DP l. The children are taught by professionals who have a wealth of experience and knowledge.The range of dance genres taught is extensive and all to the highest of standards. If you want the best training for your child, then you should definitely have s look around- you won't regret it.

My daughter joined Dupont Dance when she was 3 years old and her love for dance has been growing exponentially for the past 5 years.Dupont Dance provides high standards in dance, which is shown by the amazing results attained in regular exams. On top of this every child at Dupont looks forward for the annual show at De Montfort Hall in January.Kids don’t just learn dance here. They, also, learn teamwork, punctuality, discipline and work ethic. All in all, it’s the perfect place for your child to learn dance as a hobby or potential career.I am very happy to be part of Team DP and would like to thank all of the teachers, especially Rebecca and Annabel.

Amazing dance school with fantastic teachers, love all what they do. Children are well looked after in this beautiful studio and learn so much from self confidence, respect, discipline and so much more in all areas of their life. Successfully training many professional dansers and talented artists. Thank you !

As a male performer, you cannot get much better than Dupont. I studied here from the age of 4 to 18. From that training I had the opportunity to go to any London dance college and many ex students have done. I left Dupont and became a member of the Original Cast of Wicked the Musical in the West End without the need to have extra training and have continue to work to present day. Im now 27 years old and have worked solidly around the world. If you are looking for a dance school that creates well rounded performers, Dupont should be your home. Dance is not an easy career but if you are serious about it then give them a call. BOYS WHO WANT TO DANCE DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!
