Testimonials

My girls have loved being part of the wonderful GATE family. Not only have they received top level professional teaching in dance, acting and singing but the nurturing and supportive environment at GATE has enabled them to form strong friendships and develop crucial life skills in building confidence, teamwork, commitment, self discipline, passion and perseverance…..in short a great investment in their future.

As a parent during the last 12 years at GATE, the teachers and other students have given so much to our daughter to see her grow on and off the stage. It is a cliche but it really is one family and everyone supports each other during both the high and lows.
LAURA T
GATE has taken my two children from shy dancers, and confident performers who continue to grow, all whilst maintaining a family environment. Truly blessed to be a part of this community.
BERIAN J
They were amazing! Felt very very proud watching Lucy and her long time dancing friends perform that last night. They smashed it and the audience response said it all. Can we see it again please.

The girls love dancing with Miss Ruby and I really think she is an exceptional choreographer as her pieces are often my favourites in the GATE year end concerts.

“GATE is a wonderful environment: our daughter has been taking dance and theatre lessons for the past few years and we are very pleased with the quality of teaching. She’s having fun and making friends; she loves her teachers, their classes and during the pandemic they have been fantastic: the communication, the zoom classes, they took every precaution to make parents and children feel safe. Thank you to everyone at GATE!”
