Reviews

Diamontes is a wonderful organisation. My daughter has been attending for years and loved ballet and Diane’s attitude so much that she’s taken on another dance style!

Diamontes is an inclusive environment that promotes the self esteem and capability of all of the students. The seniors who help out are great with the little ones.

Children are provided with opportunities to progress and perform and this has been fantastic for my daughter’s confidence.

5 stars all the way!

Both of my daughters have been attending a range of classes at Diamontes Dance and Drama for over 11 years now. Classes are fun and engaging, and a great way to keep fit and build self confidence. All members are encouraged to be supportive to each other, my girls have made fantastic friendships during their time here. I would 100% recommend this dance school.
