I have been dancing since I was three years old, and I have learned so many things. Ballet helps you have a beautiful body with nice movements and harmony. I am very happy that I chose ballet for my free time and I will always keep it in my heart.

Niki School of Ballet is extraordinary. You learn some of life's most important lessons here that you will carry with you forever. Here you learn that the only way to be different is to be yourself, and that nobody else is better. Ballet has never been more fun and mesmerising — a new experience with each step.

I am very pleased to see my daughter attending ballet classes at one of the best ballet schools in town, where I was also a student. I attended from the school's very first year and gained wonderful experiences. I am thankful to my teacher, Niki Burns, who made me love ballet, and I hope that Niki's and Yvonne's talent and hard work will have a positive effect on my own daughter.

My daughter Savannah has been attending ballet classes with Niki for the last year; she started at 2½. I have seen great progress in her movement and concentration. Niki is really wonderful with the younger children — she makes the lesson fun and uses a lot of imagination and games.

All four of my daughters have attended ballet and modern classes at Niki's school for many years. Watching their development has been amazing. Niki begins with fun, playful classes for the youngest pupils and builds them into top-performing dancers. The end-of-year performances are so spectacular you could easily mistake them for a West End show.

I am 28 and a primary-school teacher. My parents sent me to ballet at the age of 6 because I had a problem with my feet. Since then, dance has been an integral part of my life. It helped me overcome my problem, keeps me in shape, and keeps me calm. I hope I will be able to dance for many years to come.

Ballet for me is my whole life. It helped me express myself — to be a good human being first, and a good dancer second. I take graded and vocational classes as well as modern dance. My teacher has a good sense of humour and communicates wonderfully with her students, becoming like a second mother to us. Our shows are spectacular, with beautiful choreography and stunning costumes.
