From Our Clients

  • Jadwyn Bulling

    We’ve been part of Diamond Studios since the very beginning, and Tierney has truly thrived in this caring, family‑oriented environment. She’s had amazing opportunities, from professional photo and video shoots, public performances, to travelling for competitions, and is surrounded by teachers and dance friends who genuinely care. There’s a special sense of whānau among the parents too — everyone encourages not just their own dancers, but all those who share a love of dance.

  • Kristen Giles  

    We’ve loved being part of the Diamond Dance Studio family for the past three years, ever since seeing Willow’s natural passion for dance and knowing it was the perfect fit. She dances everywhere, and the teachers have an incredible way of recognising that spark, nurturing it, and helping each child grow in confidence, skill, and stage presence. Watching Willow shine brighter each year and fall in love with performing has been amazing. Diamond Dance is more than a studio—it’s a supportive, positive community, and we’re so grateful for the dedication of the teachers and would always recommend it to other families.

  • Sammy Burgess

    Diamond Studios is like a second home to our family. 

    My daughter has been dancing here for three years and the growth we’ve seen - in her skill, confidence and love for dance has been incredible! She’s gained so much more than dance - she’s found friendships, belonging and a true passion. The teachers are incredible and genuinely care about every student, creating a positive, supportive environment with endless opportunities for the kids to shine. 

    We are so proud to be part of the Diamond Studios family

  • Kylie Hutchinson

    Diamond Studios is more than a dance school — it’s a true dance family.  The Diamond team have nurtured our daughter's passion, built her confidence, and given her a place to shine. The skills she’s learning go far beyond dance, and we’re so grateful for the love and support she receives every step of the way.
