My girls have been coming here since they were tiny, one starting at 18 months and the other at 2 years old, and they honestly couldn’t love it anymore. ❤️ Over the years, they have grown so much, not just with their dancing but in confidence too, and I really believe the teachers have played such a big part in that. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They genuinely care about all the kids and always make sure they’re okay, happy and included. They treat every child fairly and you can see that they know and care about each individual child, not just as dancers but as little people. They are so much more than just dance teachers. They have created such a lovely environment where my girls feel comfortable, supported and excited to go every week. We’ve been part of the dance family for many years now and I’m so grateful for all the memories.

Emma and the girls have made dancing an enjoyable experience for both me and my daughter. They have went above and beyond to support ASN and I couldn’t be more grateful. Hearing my daughter ask to go to dancing isn’t something I ever thought she’d do. TDC really is a family💛

My daughter Jura started when she was just 2, TDC has just aided in growing her confidence, from that tiny wee baby on the stage at the first dance show holding her dress I her mouth to now being a Junior ❤️ TDC not only allows the kids to learn and grow but allows them to be part of something bigger and see what they can achieve through the older kids who are also just fab with the you get ones.

Jorgie absolutely loves TDC, it has been a massive help with building her confidence, and now her sass! The girls are fantastic. Jorgie loves going to classes every week & has learned so much, there is a dance party every night now after TDC to show us what routines she is learning.

My daughter has danced with TDC for the last 13years (before TDC evolved and Emma was just the teacher for another dance school). She has flourished over the years. It helps build confidence, make good friends and keep her active while doing something she enjoys. The teachers are so supportive and push them always to improve their skills. I honestly get astounded at show time each year with the dance skills they continue to develop. The teenage years can be hard for girls to continue to dance due to self confidence etc but the support they get doesn’t let this happen and keeps them eager to continue. It is one big happy family with teachers who work so hard to keep everyone happy and motivated.

Charlotte has been attending TDC since she was 5. She is now 9 and is having the time of her life! She lives for dancing through TDC. Learning and growing in so many ways, she is fast becoming a confident girl, with skills she could only ever have dreamed of.
DTDawn Thomson
Both my daughters attend TDC and they both love going. The teachers are amazing, encouraging, kind, fair and always give 100% to their TDC family. My eldest is now going to begin her journey at college doing dance and TDC has a massive part to play in her following her dreams.
LELesley Everett
My daughter has been attending TDC for 4 years now and loves every minute of it. I have watched Ava grow in confidence over the last 4 years and become a beautiful dancer thanks to TDC. I can't thank you all enough for providing a safe and happy environment for all the pupils.
FLFiona Leitch
I absolutely loved coming into class and having an insight to what my girl does. She smashed all 6 of her classes and I'm so proud of her doing what she does at 4 years old! TDC has made Abby be confident not just in dance but in herself as a little person.
CHClair Hobkirk
My daughter started in the baby class a few months ago and it has been amazing for her. She had a rocky start and struggled to adjust to being left in the class alone but Emma and the other teachers were so supportive and got her through it.
CMCat McGoldrick
My daughter started with TDC four months ago and loves going along every week. Her confidence and personality is shining through as a result. Having recently started school she was feeling anxious and overwhelmed but TDC is so welcoming and encouraging.
CFCaron Foster
Both my girls are TDC students and I can't recommend the dance school highly enough. Ruby has been to a number of classes the past 7 years and the skills and confidence she demonstrates mesmerise me. Now my youngest at just age 3 is making friends and excited for her dance day every week.
SJSarah Jones
What a difference I have seen in Amy this year — different girl on that stage at the show. Since moving to inters she has been doing well — still doubts herself a lot at hip hop, but the teachers are absolutely brilliant. She absolutely loves it.
LSLynda Somers
Team TDC — exactly that, a complete, hardworking team through & through. Anthony lost every ounce of confidence. He was welcomed with open arms & a plan put in place at his pace which was built up over time. The love, care, time & nurturing put into him was priceless.
MMMichelle Milligan
They aren't just a dance class for my 5 year old girl — they create a community where my daughter has been able to thrive, feel supported & nurtured. My daughter has become a much more confident and self-assured person due to the environment that the dance teachers create at TDC!
BCBeth Cairns
Both my girls love TDC. The confidence they've gained and friendships built are amazing. Thanks TDC.
KRKellie Raeside
TDC has been amazing for my daughter Arya's confidence! She's been with the amazing TDC family for around 4/5 years now, and her strength, confidence and happiness grows bigger every day. The teachers treat the kids so well and are extremely encouraging.
CLChloe Lindsay
TDC is such a massive part of our lives. Myla started TDC pre-Covid and through some struggles post-Covid she was supported and loved unconditionally. Her dance teachers were a huge part of helping her through that time. TDC is her happy place.
NFNicole Fulton
Kirsten has been attending TDC for just over a year now. I'm so pleased to see her grow in confidence, make friends and do something she loves in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. The teachers are lovely!
FDFiona Donnelly
The stretch and skills showcase was exceptional. The work the children have put in was evident as they demonstrated different skills. The boys crew dance class is where Connor comes alive — he feels so comfortable in the class and it's a great way for him to exercise while having fun.
LMLisa Moore
My daughter has been dancing with TDC since she was 18 months & she loves it! All the girls create a fun, safe environment for the kids to be themselves. Emma and her team always keep us up to date with their communications & do all they can to provide wonderful memories.
VMVicki McCrystal
Eilidh started TDC a year ago and has loved every minute of it. All staff are lovely with the children and are always encouraging everyone to be the best they can be. She has not only developed her skills as a dancer but her confidence has grown and she has formed some lovely friendships. Best dance school around.
LPLaura Petrie
It's great to see my daughter's confidence grow & how much she LOVES TDC! Also, getting great feedback from the teachers! I can't thank all the TDC staff enough — it's down to all of you that my daughter is thriving and a proud TDC pupil!
GCGillian Callan
TDC is a huge part of our family. I have watched all of my daughters grow in confidence and ability in their different roles, from teaching to helping and dancing. Seeing my youngest follow her sisters' love of dance is so nice to see — each year just gets better and better.
CPChloe Poole
Molly started dancing this year at 18 months old. At first she wouldn't leave my side and was very shy. Last week she came running in and didn't even look back to say bye. She absolutely loves coming to class. Thank you for making her feel welcome, safe and super happy.
JGJenna Graham
My little girl Maisie started dance classes when she was just 18 months old, and now she's nearly three — full of sass, giggles, and absolutely loving it! She's always been a little people person, but dance has helped her confidence blossom even more. She struts into class like she owns the place.
KAKaitlin Arcaro
My daughter has been with TDC from the early age of 2. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time at TDC, gained so much confidence & flexibility whilst attending Stretch & Skills. The instructors do a fantastic job & the kids love them. I would highly recommend TDC.
JYJillian Yuill
My daughter has danced with TDC for 10 years, since the very start. Over these years I have watched teachers teach the students not only dance but care, compassion and kindness. Her confidence and ability grows every year and this is thanks to the care and commitment of TDC staff.
HBHazel Braxton
My girls started TDC only 3 years ago and throughout that time I've watched them grow in confidence and come into their own. The effort and dedication the teachers put in is astounding and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. My girls live and breathe TDC.
CFClaire Friels
Sophie loves dancing at TDC since she was a wee toddler. The teachers do an absolutely amazing job, teaching all the pupils to dance and perform but also building confidence, resilience and making friends. TDC is not just a dance school but a lovely community with passionate and dedicated staff at the heart.
EMEmma McKinnon
TDC has done wonders for my girl's confidence. This year at the show we could hardly believe the difference in her dancing and her confidence! The staff praise and push her to do her best and always make her feel like she can do it even when she's struggling.
