Outstanding dance school. Positive, encouraging and inspiring.
“I tell everyone I know about BPM as they are the most incredible family who inspire, motivate and nurture. When I saw my shy, awkward 5 year old dance her heart out with no reservation at The Hawth in front of thousands of people I realised what a special place it is for children not only to learn to dance but to be themselves, to thrive and to have so many role models to look up to. 2 years on my daughter always talks about how she aspires to be one of the older children who are always positive, kind and helpful to her. Kat and Luke have created something so unique, fun and awe inspiring and we are very pleased we get to be a part of it.”
“My daughter counts down the days until each class she has with BPM, its a highlight of each week. They are so great wih the children yet remaining on a professional level, leaving the children inspired. She bursts out of every lesson showing me 'the new moves' she has learnt. Couldn't recommend them enough.”
“BPM is not only a phenomenal dance academy that produces incredible dancers and performances, it is also an uplifting community for kids of all ages to express themselves and gain confidence through dance. We were genuinely blown away by the first BPM dance show we attended - so uplifting seeing kids and teens learn such impressive routines and have so much fun while they're doing it. BPM is the perfect antidote to our screen-dominated world and a real force for good for improving kids/teens mental health! <3”
“Bpm is really fun. Kat and Luke put us in groups so we get to meet lots of people and make loads of friends. They teach us really good routines and they’re patient while we learn them. I recommend it to anyone thinking they would like to try Acro.”
“B loves his dance classes each week, he always comes out excited and ready to show us his new skills! Kat and Luke are so friendly and patient with the little ones! Would highly recommend BPM!”
“My child has been attending Luke and Kat’s mini street dance classes for about six months now and really enjoys them. Luke and Kat are very talented, patient and have a great sense of fun. Thank you for your time and efforts. If you are on the waiting list, hold on because it really is worth the wait.”
“My son is autistic and Joined BPM 7 years ago. He is quite a anxious child and has tried out many clubs but has failed to fit in, at BPM he has thrived and enjoyed all his classes. Kat and Luke make him feel happy to show his personality without judgment and have made dance fun and exciting for him. He has done 6 shows and has taken part in the awards dance competitions. They have given him a great amount of confidence and have shown him that it’s ok to be an individual.”
“I couldn’t recommend BPM and Kat and Luke enough… I have danced with them for 8 years and loved every single minute of it! I have learnt so much about the different styles of street dance, contemporary techniques and so much about myself as a dancer and as a person. Bpm has allowed my confidence to grow hugely and helped me to go further with dance at uni! Kat and Luke are always so supportive, funny, helpful and I will miss their classes and the family they have created at bpm so much… if you are thinking of sending your child to bpm, DO IT!!!”
