What families say

Eleven of these twenty reviews use the word confidence. Four mention a competition.

Twenty-five families have rated Warriorz on Google. Twenty of them wrote something as well, and all 20 are below — in full, spelling mistakes and all, because praise that has been tidied up stops being praise.

Read them in order and a pattern turns up that nobody planted. Parents do not open with the trophies. They open with a child who would not dance in her own living room, and now will. They open with a boy who was shy. With a nine-year-old who has made friends. The dancing, it turns out, is the method. The confidence is what they came for — and it is the thing they still write about years afterwards.

The oldest of these was written nine years ago. The most recent was written last month. In between, the same word keeps coming back.

Four of the 20 are not parents, and we would rather tell you than let you find out. Two are former students — one of them now teaches here — one is family, and one is a dancer's younger sister. Every card below says which is which. The other 16 are parents who pay us every month.

Anyone looking for a dance teacher that's not just amazing at dance but also passionate about the kids development..... Zara and Warriorz is your place! We travel over an hour to get to Zara for my 5 year old, because she's just so so worth it. My daughters dance skills have improved so much and it's clear how much passion Zara has and how invested she is in all of the kids, it makes all the difference. I also love how many opportunities there are for the kids to take part in competitions, events and any other opportunities for the kids to perform, have fun and compete too. I think we all love watching our kids doing things like this! 100% reccomend Warriorz and Zara!

We've been involved with Warriorz since 2021 and my eldest has thrived due to the training and confidence building he received. He's now actively pursuing a career in the entertainment industries and has a commitment and work ethic which started to develop with his training with the Warriorz Team. My 8 year old is now also dancing with Warriorz and her growth as a dancer, confidence and socialising with new people is amazing. The students all genuinely care about each other and support each other - that starts from the top with Zara instilling this into them. I recommend them to anybody whose child is interested in dance and performing arts.

My daughter attends Warriorz and since the start she has absolutely loved it! Zara is a fantastic teacher and genuinely cares about the children like they're her own! My daughters knowledge of dance has developed so much and her confidence even more so. Its a great dance academy where the opportunities for the children are endless and you can see how much they all love to be there! Thank you Warriorz!!

We joined last year as part of a 12 week free trial for local children. My daughter WOULD NOT dance even at home 🙈 since joining Warriorz her confidence has lifted and continued to lift ❤ Zara is an absolute inspiration to these children, especially mine and to me too! Thank-you for helping Tilly-Mae to grow and blossom in an amazingly supportive, diverse and creative environment

Both my children attend here. It's the best thing I have done. Zara is amazing with the children and caters for all their needs. She really brings out their confidence and gives them amazing opportunities. There are lots of performances to watch your children shine. It's definitely a must.

My son started his journey with Warriorz nearly 2 years ago and he just loves every single minute spent with his dance friends and friendly teachers. His growth and confidence is unbelievable in fact he was very shy boy. The Warriorz helped him to grow and build his confidence. I would truly recommend this school. My son's words "once you join Warriorz you'll never leave" :):)

U8's streetdance: I had a few people tell me all about warriorz. I was hesitant about street dance, but recently, my child has taken a liking to Monster High, and will copy the dancers and following the moves perfectly so I knew it would be the perfect place. Seeing my child tonight during the lesson at warriorz confirmed that we chose the right dance school. To see my child completely authentically themselves, see the confidence shine through honestly, thank you!! This is what it is all about. Boosting children's self-esteem and confidence as well as teaching the art of dance. I wish we came here sooner.

Both my sons attend warriorz and I am so glad that they do. They have been welcomed into a friendly and diverse family that gives focus and support to every single member. Both of my boys have grown in confidence and have tried new things - whether it be a different style, working with new dancers or entering competitions - all of which was made possible by the consistent support, encouragement and deducation off all the teachers and staff. No one gets left behind. Everyone can succeed. Everyone supports each other. This is a fabulous dance and performing arts school.

Amazing dancers and teachers.
Melissa Joseph-LawrenceparentLocal Guide · 32 reviews · 3 years ago
I've been with Warriorz since the school first started and a student of Zara Richards long before that. It has only helped me grow as a performer, providing me with so many opportunities to actually experience what it's like to be in the industry. It helps prepare you for what is to come if you wish to pursue a career in the arts, it is also a great place to just have fun and make new friends. Zara has always made it a mission of hers to support her students first and foremost, something that is quite evident when seeing long term students thrive throughout her tutelage.

I have been dancing with Warriorz since I was 12 and I have found myself as a person and as a dancer because of the amazing people there. I have travelled with Warriorz to different countries to compete and hope to do more in the future. Zara is an amazing teacher and Warriorz altogether is one big loving family . I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to Pursue dance .

The next one could be about your child.

Every family above started the same way — one class, no kit, no commitment. Come and watch a session before you decide anything at all. If it is not right, you owe us nothing and nobody will chase you.
