“ …it's obvious the kids totally respect Lee. He talks to them like equals and you can tell they all adore him. Their dancing was also proof that his teaching is first class. It's not easy to choreograph 6 year olds! Over the years, my daughter has attended myriad after school clubs and groups, but this one stands out a mile. It's very special.”

“Joyful, invigorating and welcoming dance classes in a beautiful studio in Hove. Lee really is an amazing teacher. His adult contemporary classes skilfully weave through different styles, building technique while exploring the pure joy of movement in fluid sequences. I feel challenged but in a positive way- the culture is inclusive and encouraging.
My seven-year-old son is loving the Kids' Creative Movement and Dance class: "It is really, really, really good...He is so funny...It is the best thing I have ever done.".”

His experience, knowledge & understanding of working & teaching in professional dance world is truly evident when I see the progress my daughter is making whilst training at Batch, Lee’s pre-vocational course, as she prepares for auditions this spring at the top contemporary dance conservatoires..”
