"Jenna has a sense of belonging to her dance class. It is developing her sense of rhythm and her confidence. Jenna loves attending her classes. She especially enjoys the ‘dress up' days. Good for this age (4-5). Not too formal. We see it as a fun activity, not a school class. Important."

"I enjoyed Alice because I had wonderful feedback about the program from friends having attended. Alice also has a sister attending classes in the Jazz Program which she loves.

Oztots provides 3-4 year olds with enormous confidence. It nurtures their creative skills and helps them to explore dance and music and rhythm. Alice sings and dances with confidence. She has made some wonderful new friends that she cherishes (I too, have met some mums) Alice enjoys ‘her own activity' when most of her week comprises fitting in with her older siblings. Alice loves her dance classes. She has remained enthusiastic throughout the year. Not once, has she ever faltered about going. She looks forward to going each week and loves receiving a sticker. She speaks warmly about the other little girls in her class and knows each one by name. It is the activity in both our weeks that we both look most forward to.

Oztots teaches pre schoolers lots of skills in preparation for school. Such as being a member of a class and ‘taking turns', confidence in a small group and the gentle discipline required to interact with others whilst having loads of fun in a relaxed environment. Marcia, you are a skilled and patient teacher. The children adore you. "

"My daughter was diagnosed with low muscle tone and motor planning issues. Marcia's obvious understanding of individualised early childhood education and dance made Oztots seem the perfect fun environment for my daughter who needed dance as part of her physiotherapy.

Coordination, increased muscle tone, fun and enjoyment while increasing self esteem and confidence! My daughter is always highly motivated to attend. The warm welcoming learning environment based on developing confidence and having fun while learning to dance brings her coming back even when she's really tired. The sticker books are also a great motivator providing a link between dance class and home whereby a colourful reward can be looked at and referred to during the days between classes.

Everything has been thought about at The Spot. The gently approach to concerts eases the children into performance. The teacher's knowledge and attention to individual needs awakes each lesson a very positive experience. The skills and confidence my daughter displays is way beyond my expectations.

Not only has Annika improved tone, she has gained greater coordination, body awareness and so importantly increased self esteem and confidence.

We feel very blessed to have had Marcia's input her obvious knowledge of individualised education and earl child development and dance has provided Annika with the best start EVER! Thank you ."

"Claudia – getting up in front of people, not being so shy, making new friends, looking forward to going somewhere every week. "

"Scarlet – Learnt numbers very well, social interaction, sings and dances at home. "

"Ella – She loves to dance, show off her pointed toes and moves that she has learnt. She is confident and loves performing her friends and family. Oz tots has helped her achieve that. "

"Ally is keen to perform in front of others and learning about her body parts and what they can do. "

"Perri – Her ability to control her movements. Learn rhythm and to pick up the beat. Real enjoyment shown and delight in performing. "

"Alessia – Increased confidence and independence; an organized activity that is fun can teach the benefits of commitment and routine (Good Skills for going to school); Social skills – etiquette; attention, sharing in discussions (at beginning of class), listening; Bodily awareness; Of course the great dance moves that she exhibits for us! The program is run with great professionalism, but most ‘importantly' it is run with passion and care. I think boys as well as girls would benefit from not only the physical benefits of dancing and music awareness, but from the confidence and sense of achievement they obtain from participating. "

"Isabella cried for the first couple of weeks but since then she has grown in confidence. She communicates well both with adults and the other children. Isabella loves dancing and singing and looks forward to going to ballet. I would recommend the program to parents whose child has an interest or just wants to try out dancing. Isabella has really enjoyed the year and is looking forward in continuing next year. "
