We have three daughters who love to dance. They joined Hilton Hall Dance Academy almost three years ago and what a positive three years it’s been.
The girls study ballet, tap, modern, jazz, commercial,acro and RADAR. They also compete successfully for the school in the Performance Set team and love every minute spending time with their friends.
The children are encouraged to achieve their best. The annual dance show is so much fun, of a very high standard and a real treat to watch. There is so much talent under one roof.
Hilton Hall has become more than a dance school for the girls. They have a supportive network of friends and Besties outside of school, the teachers nurture each child helping them to grow in confidence, encouraging their passion.
We have three happy daughters. Hilton Hall is a fantastic school where confidence grows, friendships bloom and opportunities are created.
