“Before starting studio79 I was mainly a commercial dancer, however studio has allowed me to train in a variety of styles making me a versatile dancer. Over the last three years I have seen much improvement in my technique, performance skills, professionalism and my overall confidence and this is down to the amazing faculty at studio79 that have pushed me to be the best that I can be. I was given so many opportunities at studio79 and I really enjoyed the classes with the guest choreographers as they allowed push myself in styles I had never done before whilst also gaining an insight into the industry. I loved my time at Studio79, it’s like being a part of one big family and I’m so grateful for everything they taught me.”
