Well done Lynn on bringing the little ones together today. Jessie really enjoyed her online class. The sound was a little off at times but that never stopped Jessie from dancing with the LCD family. She loved all the dances today and I never thought the dances could be cuter until all the little scarecrows popped up from out of sight! Same time next week? Thank you and have a lovely Easter. xx

My daughter loved Lynn's dance classes in Easterhouse, which were always well organised and very well attended. Lynn organises her annual shows tremendously well, with every child having as close to an equal part in them as is humanly possible. As a very knowledgeable and experienced dance teacher and examiner she is certainly worth entrusting your children to. My daughter still watches the DVD's from the shows she took part in. Unfortunately the timing of Lynn's classes didn't suit us so we were forced to look for somewhere more suitable, otherwise we'd still be sending our daughter to Lynn.
