Not great value for money

I did not see a good value for money with these lessons. I cancelled the subscription for the next term a year ago. The company provided false dates for the term already paid for which meant that we ended up attending one session that we didn’t want to attend in the first place. The company refused to accept their error despite explaining and kept sending bills for one class. They even threatened me to send my details to the debt collectors which is ridiculous and unacceptable. I paid the balance today just so that I don’t have to see their name in my house or in my emails again. I felt coerced into paying and will be blocking them from all comms. Terrible experience.

Reply from Perform

Hi Dr Gandre, We were sorry to read this. As you know, after a full term of classes, your son attended an extra session back in July last year that you did not pay for. We wrote to you, called and emailed you on multiple occasions over the past 10 months but you did not respond. As a not-for-profit business we do ask that parents pay for all classes. Thank you for now paying but it is disappointing that you chose to write about us in this way.

Fun, confidence building and exlression

My son loves attending these classes, it has given him a new confidence and learnt new skills, he runs in without even saying goodbye to me, his teacher is so friendly and enthusiastic, I love I can sit outside and relax and get to meet new parents also, a fabulous venue also.

Daughter absolutely loves the classes

When I asked my daughter if she had any feedback she said 'it takes the week too long to go by before I can go again' and that she wishes the sessions were longer so she wouldn't have to go home! It would be great if there were more holiday courses available in Ealing, and if these covered a longer day more suitable for working parents.

Our four year-old's first Easter holiday show

Saskia had a great time and was soon singing some of the songs at home, making the moves and hand gestures she had been taught. After a slight hesitation about her role, she became very enthusiastic and greatly enjoyed the show, as did we. A warm thank you to all involved.

My daughter goes to a weekly class with Jamie in Aldersbrook and loves it! She has not been to a holiday course before, nor did she know anyone else attending the Wanstead session but said she would like to try it, even on her own. In 3 days, she made new friends, bumped into old ones, learned all her songs/lines, and generally could not have had a better experience. She is already asking to go again in the Summer!

Perform Review

Our kids go to a lot of clubs so I meet a lot of teachers, tutors, etc. In six or so years of ferrying them to different venues I have no hesitation in saying that Alison is the best person I've ever met. Enthused, energetic, intelligent, empathetic - she is exceptional and you are very lucky to have her. If it wasn't for her there's no way my nine year old would still be going to Perform, he just can't bear the idea of not getting a weekly fix of Alison. If she was a footballer I'd suggest you tie her down to a five year contract with no release clause - she is the Alexander Isak of after school activities.

Always love going back to Perform

As always, she loved her Perform camp. She came back buzzing from day one and was so excited to work on her lines and be part of the final performance. She connected really well with all her teachers even though it was only 3 days and is already asking about when she'll be able to do it again!

Great improvement¬

I can definitely see an improvement with Nayla's confidence. It is still early days but we hope to continue on as I feel it is really good for her. Thank you.

My daughter has only been at perform for about 5 weeks, she lives this so much and is always elevated when she leaves on a Friday evening. She's happy with the scripts, dancing and the direction she receives from Magda. Overall she's loves going and long may this continue.

Lion the witch and the wardrobe Holiday Club

The holiday club with Michelina and Chloe was brilliant. The script (TLTWATW) was an appropriate length to read start-finish multiple times with our children. The teachers were very engaged and willing to take the children's ideas. The costumes were exciting for the children. On the final day Chloe and Michelina added Ice Baby rap tune to one song and the children absolutely loved it - you could see amd feel their delight. Thank you (Very minor point: At Bridget's cafe it would be great to use the other door, to wait for class to start/finish inside, as it's really really cold on that street!) Please open a new class in Woolwich as soon as possible.

Very impressed

My daughter joined midway through the term and she's blended in seamlessly and is so excited every week. She's even asked why it's only once a week because she wants to do it more often! The teacher is so enthusiastic and recognised my daughter’s strengths immediately as well as areas for her to develop.

Delighted grandchildren!

Both children loved the holiday course. Asher put up his hand at the end to ask if they could so some of the songs again for the parents - that would have been great. He said the course was too short. Amelia was in tears because she didn't want it to end. Thank you for a great experience for our grandchildren.
