It looks like it could be very good for children who have no additional needs, but if your child is over enthusiastic/ASD/ADHD etc... You will likely be asked to take them away/have an unsuccessful time.
I understand it is hard to have an over enthusiastic child in a room of a dozen kids with only half a dozen adults when your wanting them to do as instructed but they are struggling.
It is up three flights of steep stairs and no lift so if you or your child has mobility issues this is also not great.
Please note I am basing this review on two failed attempts to attend the ballet for 3 year olds

Fabulous friendly, family dance school. Principal, teachers, helpers are all so dedicated to creating passionate dancers of all ages. Dance at the academy is fun, creative and performances are amazing in lots of venues at home and across the water. Boys, girls, adults classes available so all are catered for.

I started dancing myself with stourbridge Dance Academy when I was a young child and I danced there until I was 18 and gave birth to my oldest child. The staff, principle and vice principle are amazing. My 2 older children now dance at the Academy and love every second of it. My daughter does Tap, Ballet, Disco, Gymnastics and is now a member of 1 of the Amazing troupes they run for members of the academy and my son does Tap, Boys street dance & Gymnastics and although a lot of people assume dancing isn’t for boys....Stourbridge Dance Academy love to see boys in class and encourage them.

A brilliant and friendly dance studio offering a variety of class for ages 3+. Beverley has worked wonders to build this dance school to what it has become with over 30 years experience. She has trained dancer from a young age that have gone on to become professional dancers or open their own successful schools. She gives the pupils opportunities to perform as well as succeed in exams. Beverley and her team have taught my daughter for 8 years as well as teaching me for over 20 years. Her staff are excellent and friendly and always bring the best out of the dancers.

What a wonderful place for kids to learn to dance and be active, our two boys love going there to dance and do gymnastics staff are friendly and helpful with a small shop for buying outfits and shoes. I only marked this down one star as payment is via cheque or cash, also it can be a little crowded between classes not a fault of the company just the layout of the building, a toilet is located just before getting into the waiting area.
