Here's a recent Shining Stars testimonial
"
My girls came to Elan for dance camp. As a Mama of a little one with extra needs, we are always looking for an inclusive and accommodating space. We were hesitant after a negative experience at another dance studio. We were welcomed with open arms! My daughter was able to bring her own support and by the end of the week was thriving in the environment! I was overwhelmed by the unconditional high regard extended to my girl (even if she was struggling). They worked to create a space that was accepting, understanding and fun. I am so glad we made the drive from the other side of London to try out Elan. We will be back for Shining Stars and Preschool dance in fall!! Thank you to all who made camp a possibility for my girls!
