Academi Westend Academy

My nieces and nephews joined Gwynedd School of dance over 6 years ago, I can not fault the professionalism shown by Miss Natalie... no problem to big or two small.
We have watched Miss Natalie grow from Gwynedd School of Dance into Academi Westend Academy and couldn’t be prouder of being part of the family, my nieces and nephew love their time at the studio as if it was their first day all over again.

My daughters have been attending for about 2 years now and still almost every day they come up to me and say: "I can't wait for my dance class with Miss Natalie! I'm so excited!!". Their classes are once a week yet they tell me this almost every day. They were counting down sleeps until the studio would reopen when it had to close due to lockdown. During lockdown, Miss Natalie put on Zoom classes which gave us a peek into the interactions between Miss Natalie and her students. It was very touching to see the students share with her about what goes on in their lives and Miss Natalie validating what they shared even though it wasn't related to dance. A child that confides in their teacher clearly feels safe, wanted and valuable. That just says it all.

My daughter has been going to classes at Westend Academy for over three and a half years and absolutely loves it. She has gained so much from the dance lessons and the shows and being part of the school and making friends with the other kids. Our whole family thinks Miss Natalie is wonderful, she is so friendly and welcoming to all and goes above and beyond at all times. In my daughter's own words: "Miss Natalie is the best, I love her so much, she is doing an amazing job and ballet is one of my favourite things to do."

Westend Academi is a fantastic local resource. My daughter attends a weekly dance class and thoroughly enjoys herself. Miss Natalie is such a great teacher and gives such a welcome to all the children that attend the Academi. She always goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone and works incredibly hard for her pupils. Although covid had a great impact on everyone, Westend Academi ensured that none of the pupils missed out and we are so glad our daughter can once again attend the setting. Keep at it, you’re a credit to the community.

My daughter loves coming to see Miss Nataile every week. She is a fabulous, patient and kind teacher. Her support staff there are great also. It is the highlight of my daughters week. She has grown in confidence and loves making new friends within her dance lesson .

A very well run after school/Saturday activity for my 11 year old. Natalie has kept me fully informed throughout lockdown and the online classes were a great stop gap . It’s so good for the children to now be back at the studio doing what they enjoy doing. I would, and have recommend this very professional academy to my family and friends and they were not disappointed.

Fantastic Dance School. Natalie is totally dedicated to her pupils and they are always encouraged to be the best they can, no matter what age or level they are. All the staff are friendly and it is a lovely place to learn to dance!

Westend Academi are a fantastic team dedicated to all they do. They have really helped my daughter gain confidence whilst also delivering great teaching, she loves every session.
