Testimonials

'Being a student at Donna's Dance Studio gave me countless opportunities as a dancer and performer, most of which I will never forget. Donna is one of the most talented teachers and choreographers in Ireland. With Donna anything can be achieved.'
- Maeve Bracken -Full Time Student, Bird College, London

'There are a few occasion's in life when you are aware of someone changing the direction of it,and for me Donna Daly was one such person,As a twenty-one year old with no dance training the attention I received over a two year period was unparalleled.

My progress accelerated by her ability to cater for the male student, by paying attention to the different subtleties of line, and intention,I never felt I was being lumped in with the girls but rather that the male dancer had his own place.
Throughout my tuition Donna encouraged me to look further a field and to take my training to an advanced level by applying to some colleges in London which at the time was like trying to convince me the world was flat.
It did happen and I went on to have a career in the West End, commercial world of pop, T.V and Royal Performances,
I envy any student who has the opportunity to attend her studio for who knows where it will Lead Them?

'In my experience Donna’s teaching method was both precise and very detailed helping me develop a sound and solid grounding in Ballet & Modern Dance Technique. I found her to be both dedicated and passionate to my development motivated by her unquestioned love of dance. I am very grateful to Donna for giving me such a solid precise foundation. Following my time with Donna, I furthered my training at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds and trained as a Contemporary Dancer & Choreographer. Contemporary Dance is my life’s passion.'

A studio where hard work was always rewarded and memories were made and shared. In Donna I found a great teacher.

- Aisling Byrne - Proffessional Dance Teacher


'My children have been attending Donna's Dance Studio for eleven years. During this time they have had classes in every type of dancing from Ballet and Hip Hop, as well as singing, drama, and so many more classes that I forget some of them.
They adore going to class and my only problem is trying to fit in everything they want to do! The classes are tailored to different needs and abilities whioch has suited my children very well.
Apart from dance, drama, etc. they have learned very valuable life skills. They mix with children from many different schools , which makes them very sociable and inclusive. They have learned discipline and good behavior while having tremendous fun.'

'I watch my children, Molly (13) and Ciaran (7) flourish within an environment of song dance and drama at Donna's Dance Studio. An environment which promotes and inspires self-confidence, nurtures self-belief and encourages hard work. This hard work is recognised and achievements are celebrated. Having fun, being creative and learning respect for themselves and others is intrinsic in the framework which supports Donna's Dance Studio. They have already attained skills for life almost without knowing it, such is the understanding and level of learning throughout their time at 'Donnas'. Donna's sense of commitment to being the best and going the distance is admirable. There is a process of continuous learning going on at 'Donnas' in almost all aspects of everyday life.

The kids are 'living the dream' at Donna's and I for one 'go the distance' (literally) in helping my kids enjoy that.'
