I love that the classes are fun and no pressure is on the children yet they are learning all the correct technique. She enjoys her drama and singing classes and is always excited to get her scripts and song words. It’s been lovely to see her involved in the theatre shows and watch her on stage.”

“Great adult ballet class - good for balance, posture, stretching, etc., and all to lovely music with wonderful teacher. Ideal for beginners and those who have done ballet before, however long ago. 8-9pm Mondays at Orpington Village Hall except in school holidays.”

“I love this school all my friends and teachers and all my learning”

“I came across Harris Academy students on the bus and looked up their uniform. I am really impressed by their behaviour. There was none of the usual lairy behaviour, shouting and fighting. Instead, they talked amongst themselves and made way for other people on the bus. Very cool and self aware students.”

“Our children (and teachers) have loved participating in these amazing classes! They are carefully planned to be suitable for the age and development of those participating, and dances are taught in a clear sequence so that children can quickly and easily learn the dances and participate. Niljo is so enthusiastic and ensures the classes are fun and energetic. We love our new Bollywood skills and can’t wait to dance again!”

“Great nusery never had a problem and great with communicating with parents”

“Our daughter has been dancing with Lucy Griffiths Dance & Theatre Academy for many years now. She does different classes during the week and at weekends, getting many opportunities with the Academy. She helps out on Saturday mornings with the preschool and primary classes which she really enjoys and gets a lot of satisfaction from. She has entered many types of graded exams which she has achieved very high marks in. For the last three years, she has auditioned and been cast for dance teams in Christmas pantomimes, taken part in three theatre shows produced by the Petts Wood Operatic Society, and performed in three of the Academy's own shows.”
