Testimonials

Rachel M.

"We lucked upon Legs when our lovely dance teacher Miss Rachael joined the studio. It’s been a great experience. Legs has graduated working performers as well as people who just love to dance. But the culture Miss M has created is about creativity, expression, inclusion, growing confidence, having fun and striving for your best. Mr Kev and the team who manage the day to day are always friendly and helpful, and the community is great. My daughter and I highly recommend joining the Legs family for dancers of all levels, aspirations and abilities."
