From our students

  • I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have given me through dancing.It is a life skill that I am so glad to have and hope to continue building on. You have always given me confidence and encouragement to do my best.

    Kate Butterworth

  • I started at Sargent and Plester at the age of 4 and Miss Yvonne taught me a huge amount. The school is extremely friendly, professional and full of fantastic opportunities. The knowledge and experience of the teachers is second to none and I couldn’t imagine training anywhere else, mainly because it caters for all!

    -Niamh Connor-Wheatley, studies at Bird College Dance, Music and Theatre Performance

  • Sargent and Plester has been truly amazing and such an important part of my life. It has taught me so many valuable life lessons and skills; to be self competitive, determined, persistent and aim high to achieve what you wish to accomplish. Experiences such as the pantomime and the choreographic are unique and so valuable, not only for those who wish to dance in the future.

    Verity Biggs

  • My time at Sargent and Plester was the most amazing experience and one that I will never forget! I am so grateful to have had Miss Yvonne and Sam as my teachers, they are the most supportive teachers I could have hoped for and I couldn't thank them enough! I am so sad to leave after15 years of memories and will miss everyone greatly!
