Kind words from
The Rain & Lucky community

“
The RAD program is delivered with passion and care for all dancers to feel and achieve success. I am grateful to have found such a loving environment for my daughter to follow her own passion. She just completed her first RAD exams with the support of her amazing teachers, whose passion is to see my daughter confident, happy and trying her best.

Joining Rain & Lucky was the best decision we ever made. The progression in my daughter’s technique and her passion for ballet has flourished under the care and guidance of incredible teachers. The students have been so welcoming and the community as a whole is caring, fun and friendly. If you’re looking for a studio that genuinely cares about your child and can foster a love for dance then I highly recommend Rain & Lucky.
