JTS is an acceptional group for children. My oldest Dallas has been dealing with a speech delay and JTS has given her so much confidence and excelled her talking with this. Both my children light up when they realise it is "ballet day". Caroline is an absolute star teacher every child adores her and she makes a point to give each one there own idivual attention while keeping the whole group engaged and having fun. I would follow Caroline to any toddler group or class as my kids are obsessed with her vibrant and loving energy

My daughter loves attending the dancing classes with Caroline and she has a strong bond with all the amazing, caring, talented staff. She has so much fun and since she is a member of the Jittabugs family we saw a huge improvement in her self-confidence.
As a parent to an neurodivergent child we believed she will struggle performing on a real stage but actually she is so excited and enthusiastic to be part of the show; actually it's the highlight of the year for her.. to proudly shine bright! We are grateful for the staff's passion, dedication, patience and how they bring out the best of the children both in terms of their dance ability and their personal development. Thank you!

My daughter has been attending Jittabugs Theatre school for 5 years and has progressed from baby ballet to theatre school and now also has ballet and modern dance classes. She absolutely loves her classes and the teachers are all wonderful. Amazing role models for the children. She's taken part in various shows including one on a big stage and the school was so good at getting her ready to face such a big challenge. She is so excited to take part in next year's show and is always singing and dancing at home. A big highlight for her is always the Christmas party, she loves seeing her teachers do all the party dances on the stage and joining in.

My little girl went to ballet and boogie, and absolutely loved it. Can’t recommend JTS enough, they did wonders for her confidence. And are always so friendly and happy.

The Dance Cirque classes are fantastic. My daughter absolutely loves the sessions. Fab for fitness and a massive confidence booster. All of the children adore Caroline so much that it's hard to drag them away when the session ends.

Since starting at Jittabugs, our shy daughter has transformed into a true character. It’s due to the amazing leaders and team that put everything into the classes. I could recommend Jittabugs to anyone who has children. It’s absolutely fantastic.

We've been attending jittabugs since my daughter was 15 months old she's now 2 and 1/2 and her confidence has grown massively she gets so excited to go to her class. We absolutely love our baby ballet and boogie, Caroline is a fantastic teacher and puts her heart and soul into every class the children love her and so do us parents! Wouldn't want to go anywhere else. My 11 month old son loves it too so much so he took his first little steps there :)

My daughter has been with Jittabugs Theatre School since she was 15 months old. Caroline is absolutely the best teacher. She brings so much energy and enthusiasm. All the kids that attend her classes leave with a smile and wanting to go back.
As a parent, i would highly recommend Jittabugs Theatre School to any parent wanting to get their child into theatre.

I am constantly impressed by the calibre of what Jitterbugs has to offer. I've had grandchildren who have attended Jittabug classes for several years - mostly before Covid, obviously, but I've just been to the Jitterbugs show at the Tacchi-Morris centre and it was just just thrilling to see, and know that Jittabugs is back and the spirit of the team is thriving.

The entire teaching team are completely child focussed. Any production shows you children just loving what they are doing. There may be the odd glitch - but with a smile and a reassuring pat the child is made to feel good and the whole audience claps all the louder because this is about children having fun and being themselves and valued and it's truly excellent to see.

My grandson was reluctant to be at Jittabugs but attended because his sister did, and Caroline and the whole team cherished him, ignored him when they needed to and celebrated everything he did, endlessly praising whatever he did. It was about him having new experiences and fun and feeling good, not the reputation of the school.

I've seen children with a range of additional physical and cognitive needs welcomed into the classes and lovingly nurtured to enjoy and express themselves. I worked as a SENCO before retiring and while we aimed at inclusivity for all, I was very aware that finding this in practice in the wider world was very very rare, so this aspect of Jittabugs impresses me hugely.

My grand daughter recently changed to a very expensive professional franchise dance and drama school. I attended their show and saw children being nervously shepherded from one place to another, not really understanding what was happening and each child took part in one or two songs - with no drama input discernible. In contrast, at the Jitterbug show the children belted out show tunes and enacted the performance, with faces wrapt in the emotion of their role, and every child had 3 - 4 - 5 turns on the stage. Absolutely mesmerising. My grand daughter is going back to Jittabugs because as she said quite simply, it was far more fun. I couldn't agree more.
