THIS IS WHAT SCHOOLS SAY ABOUT US:

“Dear Ruchika & Raman,
Many, many thanks to you both from all the staff and children here at Melcombe. The children thoroughly enjoyed all the sessions and as a result one group of 5 children from the Year 3H managed to perform twice in our Shows on International Evening last night. They were extremely confident and remembered many of the dance techniques you taught them. Parents in the audience were very impressed. As a result of this performance the children felt very proud and gained a well deserved sense of achievement. Again, many thanks and especially coming in at such short notice and being so flexible in timetabling the sessions. Very much appreciated. Kindest regards” Roz Hemingway, Melcombe Primary
