“I just wanted to email to congratulate you on a great show and presentation day today. It was my first as a parent and what shone through was the fantastic relationships that you Miss Hollie and your team have with the students and how much they love being there. The day had a real family feel to it and your older students are amazing with the younger ones.”

“Just a quick message to say what a superb couple of weekends M and I have had. The show was totally amazing (my mum commented that it was nearly on par with a West End show!! ). Thank you for all your hard work.”

"I just wanted to say that we all really enjoyed the show! Every bit of it. I was truly amazed with some of the solo/duet acts. Very professional and emotional. What I liked the most though was the family feel, especially during presentation afternoon. K only joined JMDS recently but I already hope she will stay part of the JMDS family as long as possible."

M has been to other dance schools but never quite fit in, and of course has been relentlessly teased for being a boy who wants to dance! I’m so glad he’s stuck at what he loves regardless. He genuinely loves his JMDS friends.

"As always E and I had a fantastic show weekend and I could not wish for a better environment for her to be part of. JMDS knocks spots off the other dance schools in my opinion, and I know E isn't the best dancer but the confidence you and your teachers give her says it all for me. Not that I am wishing the years away but I am sure she will have to be kicked out of JMDS kicking and screaming at 18!"

"Congrats on a wonderful showcase! The whole weekend was gorgeous, from the babies to the leavers. You’ve built a special school where kids and adults alike feel part of a family."

I am so grateful to you. I wouldn’t have any of the confidence or presence I do today if it wasn’t for you and your school. I’m going to miss you, the school and all the girls so much. Thank you again so much for everything.
My daughter knows that she will never go on to some of the fantastic achievements past pupils have done, but that’s fine as it shows that even if you aren’t looking to follow a career in the performing arts, you can still learn and have lots of fun doing it. Taking part in the shows has meant a great deal to her, and she has gained a lot of confidence. JMDS is a quality school with quality, caring teachers. A really big thank you to everyone.
As I’m leaving JMDS I would just like to say the biggest THANK YOU! I’ve loved every second. The shows you produce are always such a high standard. JMDS has inspired me. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for what you and all of the teachers that taught me over the last 10 years. I will really miss you all. THANK YOU.
You encourage, motivate and inspire me. You help me with all my dancing and performing skills. I will never forget the fantastic shows and all the friends I have made.
I wanted to let you know I got the drama scholarship at Berkhamsted School. Thank you.
