"Ignite provide a friendly, warm atmosphere. Our daughter looks forward to attending and has fun every time she goes.
She is making great progress with her technique.
We would recommend Ignite Dance Academy to anyone!"
"My girls love being part of IDA! We could not ask for two better teachers, who have gone above and beyond to keep things going during lockdown!
They are encouraging and supportive, allowing their students to reach their full potential.
The older dancers are great with the youngest ones too."
"IDA is a great dance school, my child has felt comfortable and included from the
get-go. It's great to see friendships flourish and confidence grow!
The teachers show a great level of knowledge and patience. IDA is always looking for other ways for your child to enjoy dance, further their technique and progress their dance career."
