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, and it’s honestly the highlight of her week.

My daughter has been with TDC from the early age of 2. Over the years she has throughly enjoyed her time at TDC, she has grown & has gained so much confidence & flexibility whilst attending Stretch & Skills Classes. She very much enjoys the interaction with her Instructors & fellow pupils on a weekly basis. The Instructors do a fantastic job & the kids love them! I would highly recommend TDC to anyone looking for a new activity for their child.

My daughter has danced with TDC for 10 years, since the very start. Over these 10 years I have watched teachers teach the students not only dance but care, compassion and kindness. My daughter has made great friendships through the school. This is her second year as a senior and watching her dance in the show this year was amazing, her confidence and ability grows every year and this is thanks to the care and commitment of TDC staff.

My girls started TDC only 3 years ago and throughout that time I’ve watched them grow in confidence and come into their own. Confidence was something my Millie struggled with more than Jorgie but I can see a massive difference In both year upon year, all thanks to their teachers. The effort and dedication they put in is astounding and you can tell they are passionate about what they do and care for the kids greatly. My girls live and breathe TDC and to say it’s their happy place would be an understatement. I can’t thank you all enough for all yous do and giving our kids a safe space to flourish 💛 🖤

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 🖤💛

Emma McKinnon
TDC has done wonders for my girls confidence, this year at the show we could hardly believe the difference in her dancing and her confidence.!! Being a student helper this year has also helped her to come right out her shell, it’s given her responsibility and also a sense of achievement - what a great wee programme it is!! 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. They even listen and help the parents when we have a worry, thanks to all of you for providing that 🌟 it can’t be easy sometimes ❤️

Leanne Ramage
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. She has definitely got the TDC bug!!!! Learning and growing in so many ways, she is fast becoming a confident girl, with skills she could only ever have dreamed of. Dancing as part of TDC is truly inspirational and is a dream come true for Charlotte 🥰

Both my dajghters attend TDC and they both love going. The teachers are amazing, encouraging, kind, fair and always give 100% to their TDC family. My youngest who is 4 is thriving her confidence is amazing and she loves going, my eldest is 17 and has always loved dancing and TDC have helped her see her potential and is now going to begin her journey at college in August doing dance and TDC has a massive part to play on her following her dreams.

My Daughter has been attending TDC for 4 years now and loves every minute of it. It was lovely to be invited to the studio to watch her practice all her dancing, the staff & Emma made all the parents feel welcome. 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. Ava loves coming to TDC 🥰

Fiona Leitch
I absolutely loved coming into class and have 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!
Abby thrives and has done so since she joined two years ago. My shy little Covid baby to my now sassy little dancer and that’s all thanks to the teachers and her peers.
TDC has made Abby be confident not just in dance but in herself as a little person and this is something I love about TDC they allow you to be you!
💛🖤

Clair 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. She now loves it and happily goes in alone.
I can see how the class will help with so many aspects as she grows, with discipline, routine, fitness and the social aspect.

Cat McGoldrick
My daughter started with TDC four months ago and loves going along every week. The class she attends is perfect for her, and 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, we see it as her happy place. I recently sat in on the Musical Theatre class and my face hurt from smiling so much throughout. Wonderful class and teachers. We hope to start more classes as my daughter gets older. Would recommend TCD to anyone and we’re so happy we found it.

Caron 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 making friends, and excited for her dance day ‘saturday’ every week I’m so grateful for everything the teachers do for them.

Sarah 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 alot at hip hop but sitting in the class last week she looked to be keeping up just fine the teachers are absolutely brilliant with the kids amy absolutely loves it she started at 18 months left after covid for a bit but best decision for her to come back 🖤💛

Lynda Somers
Team TDC - is exactly that, a complete, hardworking team through & through 💛🖤 Anthony lost every ounce of confidence to walk through that door. Lost his passion. Lost his spark. 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. He is now thriving at class & all still at his pace. The professionalism is astounding along with the shows which are exceptional. He is always buzzing after his classes! Take a huge bow team TDC, forever grateful💛🖤💛🖤

Michelle Milligan
Just want to say massive thanks to you all..
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 and and didn’t even look back to say bye.
She absolutely loves coming to class and she comes home every week showing us her little dance moves.
Thank you for making her feel welcome safe and super happy 🥰🥰

Jenna Graham
Both my girls love TDC. The confidence they've gained and friendships built are amazing. Thanks TDC 💛 xx

TDC has been amazing for my daughter Arya's confidence! She has always been into dancing and gymnastics from a very young age. She has been with the amazing TDC family for around 4/5 years now I'm sure, and her strength and confidence, and happiness grows bigger every day, and makes her want to try new styles of dance. The Teachers treat the kids so so well and are extremely encouraging, which is great for the kids and learning. 1.2.3....TDC!!!

Chloe Lindsay
TDC is such a massive part of our lives.....apart from a Sunday 🤣 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 ❤️ Myla is so passionate about her dancing and hates missing class she has learned this from her wonderful teachers TDC is her happy place and the show is my favourite time of the year ❤️ Cameron is part of TDC crew and I cannot explain how much they melt my heart the way all the boys look out for him it is just amazing! My sister Elle is a senior and I'm so glad her teachers have managed to encourage her not to hang her dancing shoes up yet!
Thank you TDC for everything
💛🖤

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. It's been great for her fitness and helping her asthma too. The teachers are lovely! I really enjoyed her open night and watching her do what she loves. Thank you TDC for all you do.

Fiona Donnelly
The stretch and skills showcase was exceptional. The work that the children have put in was evident as they demonstrated different skills. I love to see the improvement in ability and flexibility from when he started.
The boys crew dance class is where Connor comes alive, he feels so comfortable in the class and it's a great way from him to exercise having fun.

Lisa 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 are always keeping us up to date with their communications & do all they can to provide wonderful memories for the kids by organising summer & christmas fun events etc.
Thank you for all you do girls, i don't know where you get your energy!

Vicki McCrystal
Eilidh started TDC a year ago. She 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. Eilidh 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

Laura Petrie
Well what can I say'? The difference in my girl is amazing! Her confidence has grown and she is continuing to gradually burst out her shell and show emerging her beautiful amazing talent! After a very rough start at another dance school I was so nervous and apprehensive about sending her to another dance school but oh my gosh did I make the right choice! First year and show she smashed it and blew her emotional maw away then this hear was even better! These girls and ladies are not just dance teachers there role models and like big sisters to my girl she adore them and so do we all! There is never a daft question as they get a lot from me lol and the talent these wonderful ladies had is outstanding! Thank you for everything 🖤💛

Gillian Callan
It’s great to see my daughter’s confidence grow & her how much she LOVES TDC! Also, getting great feedback from the teachers! I can’t thank all the TDC staff enough, as it’s down to all of you that my daughter is thriving and a proud TDC Pupil!

Beth Doherty
TDC is a huge part of our family and 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 and I have seen such a huge improvement in her over the past year. The journey they have all been on has been amazing to watch and each year it just gets better and better. I look forward to seeing what the future brings .

Sarah Leckie
I was always hesitant to send my daughter to dancing, thinking she was always too young. However, since she started in February 24, her confidence and skills have increased drastically. She counts down the nights to when she’s next at class and practises constantly at home. The love she has now for dance is amazing and that’s down to all of the teachers! The dedication and passion you all have for the children is very apparent and I can’t thank you all enough.
Maybe my clumsy wild child might just be a dancer after all!x

Chloe Poole
Joining the TDC family has the been the best thing myself and andrew has done for our little girl rhea. The TDC team have helped raise and encourage her since she was 22 months old. Dancing has become a way of life for us and rhea thrives on it daily. The shows we have been involved in have been amazing and we look forward to the next one. The social media updates with every class are amazing and i get to see the progress of my little one since she acts shy when its parents weeks. Rhea sees the girls as her family , trusts them , talks about them constantly and looks forward to seeing them each day. She loves uodating the girls on her life outside dancing and how the girls encourage her all the time to thrive in whatever she does. Watching TDC grow from the hire of a hall to their own amazing studio has been fantastic to watch. I myself have loved being part of the journey. Can't wait to see what else this amazing dance school has in store.
1..2..3 ...TDC !
