" I had the pleasure of meeting Faye in 2014 as part of a successful auditioning process for the first ever Pineapple Community Programme of work to be rolled out nationally. Faye was one of the few successful applicants to be selected as part of the programme. Since this time Faye has gone on to be one of our best loved community Dance teachers, she is friendly, talented and a great team player always looking to enhance her own skills as well as others. She is a pleasure to work with and is a valuable asset to any organisation she gets involved in."

Leanne Pero, Pineapple Community Ambassador

" Faye is just so lovely, professional, kind, caring and inspirational. My daughter absolutely loves her dance classes. "

Suzi, Parent

" I cannot recommend Faye enough! My 7 year daughter has sensory issues, hyper mobility and anxiety. Faye has just been amazing from the very first message I sent with my worries to suggestions of how to make my daughter's dance experience happier.  When my daughter first started dance classes she was extremely anxious and often cried. Faye went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, safe and accepted. Dance has massively improved my daughters confidence and she is so much happier overall which I believe is to do with dancing. I asked my daughter what she would say about Faye and her dance class and she said “I LOVE IT! And Faye is the best teacher!! "

Toni, Parent

" A fantastic dance school- recommend +++ my daughter looks forward to seeing Faye every week as she is very kind, patient and a very good teacher. My daughter has improved so much since coming here and has become more flexible now being able to do splits, cartwheels and other bendy shapes!!! During lockdown Faye gave 110% offering almost daily virtual dance classes - it has been priceless - giving my daughter a kick start to the day and making lockdown fun and rewarding thanks to Affinity! What more can I say? "

" Jess has been attending Faye's classes for nearly two years now and since the pandemic Faye has created special online classes via Zoom (we would have been lost without her during lockdown!) . Faye has a kind hearted gentle spirit and is an inspiration to all who participate her classes. The way she encourages the children, the way she engages with them and the way in which she inspires them is just beautiful. "

Charlotte, Parent

" Wonderful dance school, my daughter loves it and her ability has come on so much since starting. Faye is a wonderful teacher. I highly recommend . "

Amanda, Parent

"My daughter, now seven, refused to go to ballet lessons but when I showed her some Acrodance videos she was captivated and Faye has been instrumental in continuing to foster her love of this style of dance. My daughter always makes us arrive for the lesson at least 15 minutes early and turns the sitting room in to a practice studio for the rest of the week. The best thing about Faye's approach is that in her classes there is room for every level of ability and she brings out the best in each individual dancer. My daughter has always struggled with her coordination and it has affected her confidence but under Faye's tuition she has really blossomed."

Alison, Parent

"Faye has been excellent in helping my daughter gain confidence and have fun in her dance lessons. She has great patience with the children and my daughter loves going to her dance class. Would highly recommend her classes."

I feel Faye has supported the girls to develop confidence in their bodies capability & we have seen a lot of progress in their ability & skills over just a few months. Watching them at the show recently was an eye opener & we felt very proud! 

But the most important thing is that they love it! They look forward to their classes, come out of them excited & practice their moves every day in between!!"

Claire, Parent

"Faye's after-school dance lessons at Stoke Fleming Primary School have been a great success. The children all enjoy attending and it's wonderful to see how they have grown in skill and confidence. Faye is positive and encouraging and goes the extra mile to ensure the children have the opportunity to perform for an audience. They have twice performed at the Flavel in Dartmouth and often dance in school assemblies. The children recently undertook their first dance exam and were delighted when they learned they had all passed!"

Sarah Simnett, Headteacher of Stoke Fleming Primary School

"Jasmine is always very keen to attend Affinity Dance lessons, she loves the exciting and varied classes and Faye's approach to teaching. Jasmine loves having the opportunity of being able to perform in front of an audience and the chance to gain merits and certificates encourages her to achieve her potential. I can't recommend Affinity Dance highly enough. Quality coaching sessions in a wonderfully fun and friendly environment led by the ever professional Faye whom the children admire and respect whilst teaching them a wide range of exciting dance routines."
