Testimonials:

"My daughter has been a member of LA Dance and Cheer for 8 seasons and has loved every minute of it.  The coaches are great with the dancers / cheerleaders, with their love and enthusiasm for their art clearly evident in their teaching and creativity with each routine.  There is always great team spirit and it is a joy to watch the kids proudly perform their routines and various competitions and at the end of the season Showcase.  One of the things as a parent that I like best is that no matter the ability of your child, there is a space for them on a team.  All they need from you and your child is commitment and willingness to train"

"My Daughter has been going to LA for the last 4 years and absolutely loves it. The coaches are amazing and go above and beyond for the girls. My Daughter's confidence has came on since she started dancing. Even during lockdowns the coaches have given it their all so no one is missing out. Would 100% recommend LA to anyone that was thinking of joining"

- Kim Franklin (India)

"My daughter suffers from anxiety and over the years we had tried a few dance groups etc but none of them worked and she never felt settled. From the very first lesson at LA Dance & Cheer, Eden felt at ease, comfortable and couldn’t wait to go back each week. Eden adores her classes and has now joined the competitive team. Watching her perform with her team on the stage at a competition is something I never thought I would see with Eden but I was over the moon to be able to do that and to see how excited she was and how much she loved it. Being part of the LA team has made Eden’s confidence come on so much"

- Kerry Fogiel (Eden)

"My Daughter has been at LA for 6 years and the experiences, skills and friendships she has gained will be with her for her lifetime. It has built her confidence, fitness levels and dancing abilities and every year at competitions and end of season showcases, I am truly blown away by the teams' skills and performances. Dancing has provided my Daughter with the discipline, team player skills and confidence that will set her up for her future and she truly loves being part of the LADC family. I cannot thank Louise and Cherry and the other amazing coaches enough for providing this opportunity for my daughter"

- Faye Nicholls (Bessie)

"We couldn’t thank Cherry & Louise enough for making us feel welcome. During what was an uncertain time, my Daughter made the decision to join LA. From the first Zoom meeting she knew she had made the right decision to join this dance family. In such a short space of time she feels like she has been there forever. Cherry & Louise have definitely built her confidence back up and made her feel part of the team. She can’t wait to be back where she belongs on that dance floor. Thank you again for all your hard work and keeping them motivated during lockdown with all the Zoom classes"

- Maria Cifuentes (Millie)

"My daughter has been with LA since she was 6 and never looked back. LA built upon the skills that my daughter had and showed her her true potential. She is always encouraged to do her best and aim for the next level. Over the years her passion has grown and she has joined more teams. This has given her more dance techniques and continued to build on her passion to dance. My daughter loves to attend competitions and compete as a team, this is an amazing opportunity for all the parents/carers/families to join together and support our amazing LA teams. There are many opportunities given to the children of expanding their training through experiences that coach Cherry and Louise organise for them with other coaches and experts, this is ensuring that the teams are expanding their knowledge and building on their dance techniques. 

LA is a huge part of our lives and it has changed my daughters life. It has given her confidence, more passion to dance and so many amazing opportunities. Being part of the LA family has been an amazing journey. To see Cherry and Louise expand and have the brilliant gym we have today, the drive and passion they have for each individual child to support them to achieve their best potential and all the junior/assistant coaches who have also supported over the years have been amazing.

When faced with COVID -19, Cherry, Louise and the coaches stepped up and have been supporting the girls and families throughout with zoom classes and other training opportunities. This has been a lifeline during this time. We can’t wait to be reunited and continue our journey with our LA family"

"My time at LA was something that I will never forget. It has taught me so many life lessons, given me memories that I will never forget and allowed me to meet one of my best friends! I feel like I grew up with LA and it was a huge part of me learning to figure out who I am today. Cherry and Louise were part of the biggest highs I’ve had in my life so far, such as wining 3 bids to Worlds and competing twice in Orlando, Florida too! Not only have they been there for my highs they have also supported me through some lows too! The main thing I miss about LA is the family aspect of it all and knowing that there was always someone there to chat to no matter how you were feeling that week. LA will forever hold a huge part in my heart ❤️"

- Victoria Scott (LA Alumni)

"Being part of the LA family has afforded both my daughters amazing experiences - from reinforcing that teamwork, commitment and perseverance can yeild positive results, to incredible competition experiences. It's more than a dance class or a chance to stay fit, it's being part of a community and that's had a hugely positive effect on them both."

- Heather Baxter (Kirsty & Carla)

"My daughter joined LA at a time when she was lacking in confidence within herself and her dancing.  Louise and Cherry have completely turned her around and I’ve watched her grow back into the confident person and dancer she once was.  We feel proud to be part of the LA family where lessons are fun yet challenging whilst ensuring every dancer reaches their full potential"

- Nicola McRae (Lois)

"My daughter started LA in recreation for one year then joined the competitive teams and hasn’t looked back. She loves every aspect of gym life and has made some good friends. It is like a big family and everyone (coaches and teammates) are all there for each other .What a team! "

- Lauren Edgar (Georgia)

"LA Dance and Cheer has been great for both my daughters.  It has helped them grow in confidence within themselves and created great relationships with others outside school and family.  I am amazed with the skills and tricks they learn.  They always have lots of fun with all the girls and the instructors. Its great that there are options to do recreational or go forward in competitions as a group or solo, as it gives something for everyone.

Throughout the COVID situation LA Dance and Cheer have went out of their way to stay connected with zoom classes, it has given the kids consistency throughout these challenging times.  Highly recommended"

- Natalie Milne (Ashlyn & Leoni)

"Jess hasn't been part of the team for long but has been made very welcome from the start.  One of the days she has to start Hip Hop later than the other girls that have all already been in Jazz and every one of them makes Jess feel welcome when she walks in on her own. A credit to the coaches and Cherry & Louise! A real 'Family Feel'"

- Elizabeth Milne (Jessica)

"Both my daughters have attended LADC for a number of years now and love it! From their perspective the classes are fun, sociable and they love to learn new moves.  My eldest daughter loves the competitive side and wearing her sparkly outfits!  As a parent, I have observed both my daughters thrive to learn more but also realise this only comes with practice.  All of this is a credit to Cherry, Louise and their team"

"I had been part of LA dance & Cheer for about 12 years and had such an amazing positive experience. LA brings so much fun and great opportunities, as I was able to go to Florida twice with the club and also represent Team Scotland at the World Championships which was a life changing experience. They have such amazing coaches there who treat you like family which makes it such a joyful place to go to. The members and coaches are what makes LA a very welcoming club to be part of. LA Dance & Cheer is a fantastic place to meet new friends, during my time at LA I made some lifelong best friends who I still keep in contact with today. LA benefited me greatly in later life and further education. It teaches you an immense amount of teamwork skills since LA is all about working and communicating as a team since it is a team sport. It is also a sport that teaches you hard work, which is a great skill to have. Overall I found my time at LA Dance and Cheer and very pleasant experience that teaches you such great skills that benefit you later in life"

"My daughter has been a part of the competitive side of LA Dance & Cheer for a number of years. She absolutely loves coming to dancing and learning new skills in preparation for hitting the competitions. LA have helped my daughter reduce shyness and increase assertiveness along with the physical benefits. LA have a number of very committed and friendly coaches. My daughter loves being part of the LA family which we hope to be part of for years to come"

- Jenni Todd (Sophie)

"I’ll always look back fondly on my time with LA. Performing with the LA team gave me the opportunity to keep fit, travel the world and create lifelong friendships. The atmosphere is so inclusive, whether you’re looking for a social or competitive scene; the coaches adjust their approach to meet the goals of all different ages and ability levels, which really makes LA a welcoming and rewarding experience. The co-ordination and planning skills I picked up from performing competitively have helped me in the early stages of my career working with young people across Aberdeen. Cheer takes a lot of trust and confidence, skills which I’ll carry with me into the next chapter of my life"

- Natasha Watt (LA Alumni)

"My daughter enjoys all the classes she attends at LA. The routines are great, and she loves learning all the moves, stunts and tumbles. She has formed wonderful friendships and she loves all her coaches who are all incredibly talented and very encouraging. She looks forward to getting back to physical classes and competitions again in the future but we have really appreciated her still being able to see her friends and coaches virtually and continue her passion for dance and cheer through the lockdowns."
- Debbie Cunningham (Lauren)

"My daughter has been going to la for about 2.5 years. She joined as a competitive member in the middle of a season and was allowed to train with the girls for the remainder of that season and both she and I were made to feel very welcome by Cherry, Louise and all the coaching team. The standard of coaching that my daughter has received could not be faulted in any way. They work hard and this shows in the routines and results. What I want to emphasise more than anything is how hard LA have worked since Covid. Unlike any other activity she does LA have completely given 100% during all of this to keep the girls dancing and engaged. My daughter has improved in the last year which is incredible given the gym time they have had. Their online content was phenomenal and all the coaching team gave it their all. It is sad that competitions have been cancelled but standards in discipline, technique and creativity have not dropped at all. If you want the best I couldn't recommend LA Dance and Cheer enough"

- Michelle Milne (Grace) 

"Hannah has been with LA for 5/6 years and she has become someone who wants to push herself. She loves making people laugh in class and on the zoom classes. She also gets so much fun out of it herself. Cheer brings her so much more energy and energy to her team too. It’s been a very crazy year for everyone but Louise, Cherry and all the coaches, you have done so so well in keeping the spirits of the girls up. You are great role models for them all" 

- Angela Coupar (Hannah)

“Being a member of LA Dance and Cheer has shaped me into the person I am today and taught me lessons I will carry through life. The memories, the rewards and the opportunities given are unmatched. The laughter and smiles in the team are infectious and without a doubt, turned a bad day around. I felt the most free and the most myself whilst being part of LA and will cherish the friendships I made forever.”

- Eliza Burgoyne (LA Alumni)
