Jesters has been brilliant for my daughter and has really helped with her confidence. The classes are friendly, welcoming and the teachers make every child feel special.
My daughter started as a Broadway Baby and attended Twinkle Toes ballet from the age of 2 . At age 6 she is now a Junior Jester and attends Pierrot ballet! She adores Annie and the other teachers - they are all fantastic! Highly recommend for children of all ages!

My daughter has attended Jesters for 3 years and absolutely loves it! She has become a more confident, sociable young lady and made lots of new friends. Annie and her team are incredible with the children, making it a fun environment to learn.

Our little six years old loves Jesters, normally she drops out of after school clubs pretty quickly but she is sticking with this one! She likes all of her lovely teachers, all the children are kind and fun to be around, she comes out buzzing! Great place to help little ones gain confidence and have fun. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been going to Jesters for around seven years now, and the opportunities she has had have been immense.
She has sung and danced in Disneyland Paris twice, once coming home with the IFDPA gold medal for singing, she has taken part in Pride, she has performed at Her Majesty's Theatre, been part of so many shows within Jesters, including High School Musical and Legally Blonde. None of this would have been possible without the hard work of her, and Annie and Charlotte. When she first came to Jesters, she had no confidence, both tutors recognised her talent and brought her confidence up to a higher level, they believed in her, and instilled that belief in my daughter. They do that with EVERY child that comes to Jesters, to watch it, is just amazing, they truly care about every child. Jesters is a family to us, Annie truly cares about the children, and the parents. I recommend Jesters for beginners and established performers, there is no pressure, it is a safe, fun space for all. Thankyou Annie and Charlotte.

I do Broadway 567 through Jesters Theatre Academy and it’s the most feel good fitness dance class I’ve ever done. Annie is amazing and hosts an all inclusive class. It doesn’t matter what your level of dancing. We laugh lots and have fun. Thanks Jesters. X

My daughter has attended jesters for years and absolutely loves it! They keep her busy and active and most importantly happy. The teachers are fab and we love attending the productions they put on.

Broadway Babies is great! We tried a few different toddler classes before this one but none of them felt right. As soon as we tried Broadway Babies, we both loved it and have been going for 8 months now.

Annie is wonderful with the children
The other families are all friendly
The adults get to have a sing-song
The children get to have fun but also learn about listening to the 'teacher'

Overall, I would highly recommend

My son has been attending Jesters Theatre Academy since he was 5 or 6 years old. The fact that he is still attending and is nearly 15 is testament to just how much he loves it! His little sister has joined this year too and she is always excited to go. The children can really be themselves at Jesters and this has done wonders for their confidence (both on and off-stage). Annie and her team really look upon the children as a community and their ethos is always centred around Jesters being a caring and nurturing place to be. Annie really gets to know the children and will always go that extra mile for them. This was certainly true during lockdowns as she kept things going online and even organised extra ‘snack and chat’ sessions so that the children had social time with their friends because she genuinely cares about their well-being.
