Where fun and learning blend!

The classes have had incredible impact on my daughter. She is not only learning performing skills but, most importantly, she is happy and has great fun! The PopGems team are all amazing, they are so talented, offer support and reassurance to nervous children and are just lovely.

Boys street dance trial

My son has just started a trial for the boys’ street dance class with PopGems. He was nervous at first, but the teachers were so warm and friendly, he felt very welcome. He loved the dancing and cannot wait to go again

Great lessons

Our eldest has been a part of popgems for 6 years now and enjoys it so much she has taken up extra classes. She’s continuing to gain confidence, learn new skills and make friendships away from school. Highly recommended.

Can’t recommend PopGems enough

Can’t recommend PopGems enough. The effort the team put in each week, it really does feel like one big family. We’ve been apart of the PopGems family for 3 years now and I can’t sing their praises enough. All the children’s hard work throughout the year out together in a final show which is always outstanding!

I would highly recommend PopGems because of friendly, loving, happy, skilled staff that teach my daughters. My elder daughter decided not to continue with PopGems because she was starting secondary school. However on her own accord she wanted to rejoin again. My younger daughter enjoys her weekly sessions and looks forward to participate in performances. PopGems is good for confidence boost for young minds and this was and is the reason that we have chosen to send our daughters.

Happiest Place🎞💫

We love Popgems Academy! My daughter Sherine is always excited to attend street dance class every week with her friends. It’s a place where she can express her self through dancing. She loves being in the class, where it is so much fun learning.

Her first stage performance experience was the celebration of the 10th year anniversary of PopGems that was absolutely amazing. She is looking forward for more shows 🥰 - more dancing, singing and acting.

I would also want to add that all the teachers are amazing and talented. They help the kids to gain confidence and skills.

They are simply THE BEST!

My daughter started street dance and musical theatre 1 year ago and she absolutely love it. She didn’t even wanted to think of going on a stage before but with the patience and help of Gem and her team she has no problem anymore performing in front of an audience. Totally recommend PopGem Academy they are AMAZING 🤩
