Sandra Ramsay - Owner of JAG Dance Academy

Having worked with Jodie for over 15 years, I could not recommend Dance Movement & Grace highly enough. 

Jodie is not only highly experienced and well-trained in her craft but also has a pure talent for working with younger children. Her kind and gentle manner creates a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters children's love for dance.

Jodie's use of visualisation techniques are both imaginative and easily comprehensible to young children, empowering them to understand and connect movement and musicality in a fun way.

If you are a parent or guardian seeking a nurturing and highly skilled instructor for their children. Jodie's passion combined with her exceptional teaching abilities, creates an environment where children not only learn the art of dance and movement but also gain a strong sense of self-assurance and accomplishment.

Jodie taught my daughter ballet, tap and modern from the age of 3 and gave her a passion for dance! I would highly recommend her dance classes as she is the kindest, most supportive dance teacher anyone could ask for!

Victoria East - Manager of Smallville Nursery

We feel so lucky to have Jodie with us every Wednesday morning for our nursery dance sessions. Her visits have quickly become one of the week's highlights for our 2, 3 and 4 year olds.

Jodie brings such a positive energy with her, and the children absolutely light up when she walks in. She has a real talent for connecting with young children, leading them through fun, playful routines that build their coordination, confidence, and creativity.

We often hear from parents about how much their little ones love dance day, practising their moves at home, and counting down the days until Jodie returns. She's made a genuine impact on the children, helping them grow not just physically, but socially and emotionally too.

We're so thankful to have her as part of the Smallville team. Wednesdays just wouldn't be the same without her.
