Our little girl Bea began dancing lessons with you shortly after her third Birthday in early 2006. She has been thrilled and excited to attend Footprintz Dance Academy - it has been the most wonderful initiation into the world of dance and dancing lessons. The caring happy environment created by yourself and your wonderful teachers is inspiring and exactly the right formula for our little treasure to feel valued and encouraged. Bea talks about Miss Jen, Miss Jazmin and Miss Erin so often with fondness and joy. Thank you all for the confidence, dance skills, concentration skills and enjoyment you have poured into her. Earlier in the year Bea put together a dance routine for Daddy's Birthday: To see her come running through the door in her little red Footprintz outfit and leap around the room was such a thrill. We laughed and cried simultaneously! We also applaud you for the choice of music, costumes and dance moves in preparation for the end of year show. It is so refreshing to know that our girls are treated with such respect and not expected to 'grow up' before their years, as is so often the case in today's society. We appreciate this greatly.

Thank you for your vision and hard work.We feel very blessed.

Wow!!! What a trip down memory lane when Miss Jen asked me to write a parent testimonial. It has now been 5 years that my daughter Siara started dancing at Footprintz Dance Academy and is going to be in her 5th end of the year dance concert in just over a week. It has been a wonderful journey for Siara being taught by Miss Jen and we have watched Siara grow, learn and help Miss Jen with the tiny toes class on Tuesday's. It has truly been a great journey from starting out in a studio at the back of a material shop to a very old scout hall that had no air conditioning much to the disgust of the children, to the great halls now, and over that time with exams, concerts and building friendships with girls outside of the circle children normally mix in and sharing a friendship as well as having respect for Miss Jen has been a part of Siara's life that I am so very sure she will look back on with such fond and great memories in years to come. I thank you very much Miss Jen for all your time, effort, patience and love with my daughter and installing confidence into her life over the past years. Siara truly loves dancing and it shows and I am really looking forward to watching another fantastic concert.

Dear Miss Jen, Alyssa has just blossomed in her dancing, thanks to Miss Jen and Miss Erin's caring nature. Alyssa loves her dancing now; she loves the friendly fun atmosphere. Alyssa loved performing at the recent Big Weekend event at Miss Jen's Church and can not wait to dance at the upcoming concert. Alyssa's self esteem has grown. What a great way to build your child's confidence. Dancing is a passion in Alyssa life, Thank you Miss Jen and your team. This will be a sport she will continue for a long time. Alyssa's little sister will be joining next year, as she loves watching her big sister dance.

Miss Jen,

I would sincerely like to thank you and your assistants (Miss Hayli & Miss Jazmin) for the wonderful dance training you are providing my daughter, Amarnie (5 yrs old). Since she joined Footprintz Dance Academy in September 2004, her dance skills have improved greatly but more importantly she thoroughly enjoys the fun environment along with the loving and warm atmosphere. Your style of teaching really encourages children to explore and enjoy the world of dance. The hard work you've put into Footprintz and the dedication you show the girls/classes is really inspiring. Amarnie was thrilled to perform recently at a Women’s Event (HerTime @ RiverView Church) and she can't wait to dress-up again and dance to her heart's delight at the upcoming end of year concert! What a great way to build any child's self-esteem!

It has been my great pleasure in being a part of FDA since it's inception.
My daughters have not only grown within themselves but have developed dance movement and co ordination skills for which I am truly amazed.
Each year the dancing concerts are individual and unique, no two dances are ever the same!
The children are taught in a fun, friendly and enjoyable environment where the teachers are truly eager and willing to teach all concepts of movement to music.
The self confidence within the groups is outstanding and it's wonderful to see the enthusiasm of all involved, I would have no hesitating in recommending Footprints to any member of the community.

My experience with Footprintz has been great from the very first phone call to Miss Jen. I have always felt 'important' & 'heard' by her & the teachers and not just another 'number' so to speak. Miss Jen always has time for my queries or concerns.
Having done ballet as a child, I was a little anxious about where to place my daughter Georgia.
When I found out that Footprintz was run by a Christian and covered all aspects of dance genre I was relieved. Dance & Theatre can be such an 'interesting' world to enter. The values that are held from the leadership at footprintz are complimenting our values at home... thank you!
Well after one year, many pairs of tights and a concert looming Georgia has thoroughly enjoyed her experience with Footprintz dance and so have I.! Georgia has become very aware of the discipline required for dancing. She always tells me that she is going to dance like 'dancing with the stars' or 'cinderella' - we'll see which path of dance she takes.
Thank you Miss Jen for giving your passion & talent 'life' to another generation.

My Daughter joined Footprintz at the age of four in Term four 2004. She was originally hesitant to stay, however thanks to Miss Jen being such a kind and patient teacher she was keen to perform on stage in the end of year concert.
I feel Miss Jen has perfect combination of discipline and patience with a growing child. She has realistic levels of expected achievement and builds a natural sense of self esteem in a young person. The students are encouraged to work together in an atmosphere of respect and genuine care for others.
I would highly recommend Footprintz to any parent wishing to enroll their child in an (affordable) dance school that offers discipline and humility in a fun and loving environment.
