Rawle School Of Dance And Performing Arts

My daughter has been attending Rawle School for over a year now and I am over the moon of how she is progressing. As Stefi has been diagnosed with ASD, it can be difficult with starting new things, but Miss Rawle was amazing with allowing her to grow into the new environment. We both had lots of care and support from the teachers and the 'little helpers' and Stefi is thriving in school and wants to go every week, even when the school is off.Cannot recommend highly enough! The professionalism, passion, love and care make this place amazing.

If I could give 0 stars I would..... Archaic teaching methods, with no concept of understanding my child's emotional requirements, or how to engage them with respect.The teacher decided to cut my 4 year old daughter's laces on her brand new ballet shoes with no explanation to her as to why! My daughter was distraught and began crying inconsolably, like any child would.The result of this was my daughter being told by the teacher to stop crying as she was acting like a baby, the teacher continues to say she has 2 year olds that don't act as silly as her!My daughter then sat out the session due to being upset for around 30 minutes whilst the session continued.. At no point were we contacted to come and pick her up before the session ended, despite my wife waiting in the car park the entire time, and the teacher knew she was there!!As a teaching facility you assume a duty of care for the students and you clearly have no concept of what that involves. This is not a military academy or the 1950's. Belittling children to get them to respond positively doesn't work .. I firmly do NOT recommend this dance school..

Superb dance school teaching various disciplines in little old Macclesfield. The teachers have guided my daughters to be able to perform, compete, and excel in any dance and performance situation to very high standards. Add to this the camaraderie they share with the other members of the school with shared interests and goals that they count amongst their best friends, there is a genuine team atmosphere. There have been many times where we have needed advice outside of school times regarding costume or shoe preparation and both Miss Rawle or Gabriella have helped in every way, including taking out the needle and thread to do the work themselves. Both my daughter’s started at the school as 3 year olds and have loved every minute of their dance education they have received from the Rawle School. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to take dance seriously, as exercise, or for the main thing which is fun.

My daughters have been attending Rawle School of Dance for 8 and 6 years now respectively. During this time, they have made so much progress within their dancing abilities and also levels of confidence. Miss Rawle and Gabs are extremely knowledgeable, but also very approachable and personable, they strive to get the best out of your child in a friendly manner. I would definitely recommend this dance school and I look forward to seeing my daughters develop further and make many more happy memories here.

I started tap with Gabriella after never dancing before and it’s so much fun. She is a great teacher, breaks everything down and makes the classes very enjoyable. I’ve been doing it 18 months now and look forward to it every week…so much so that I’ve now started ballet too! Can’t recommend Rawle highly enough.

Happy children and such lovely performances to celebrate all their achievements, especially the summer school which all three of my children looked forward to attending every year. Well done The Rawle School of Dance what a wonderful local school and such a professional and nurturing environment.

My daughter has been having dance lessons with Rawle for nearly 8 years. The range of dance styles on offer is varied, from ballet and tap to street, lyrical, jazz and musical theatre etc. It is a very supportive, caring environment to learn in and Miss Rawle and Gabs are both excellent, highly skilled and knowledgeable teachers.

I started at Rawle when I was 4 years old just doing ballet and tap on a Saturday. I love it so much, it’s like having another family. Miss Rawle and Gabriella are both amazing teachers. I’m now there 5 days a week. I’d do 7 if I could! I would recommend Rawle School of Dance to everyone!

My daughter has attended the dance school for 9 years and currently takes classes 5 days per week. It’s her home from home and she thoroughly enjoys the challenge of the classes and the interactions she has with her teachers and classmates. The variety of class types available is great, including musical theatre which my daughter loves. The encouragement and careful teaching has allowed my daughter to excel and progress through grades gaining high marks at each step. The highlight of our Summer is always the week of Summer School!
