Fern is an incredible teacher who gets the best from her students. Her lessons are always fun and exciting. I love attending her classes. She has helped to improve all aspects of my dancing including my strength and flexibility. Her choreography is amazing and the dances she has taught me are some of my favourites. She is an exceptional teacher!

I have been at Upminster school of dance since I was 4 years old. I’m now 17 and go every week. It’s an amazing place to learn to dance and the teachers are so lovely and passionate about dance. It’s a big family and I couldn’t imagine ballet dancing anywhere else.

A ballerina in a blue dress stands en pointe, arms outstretched gracefully under an arched, open metal framework. The background includes urban architectural elements like brick and glass buildings, adding a modern feel to the scene.
