“I love that I get to work with outstanding teachers who not only take the time to know me, they also have amazing industry experience and contacts that they are able to share. QCD has given me the tools to work on the many aspects that are required for a career in dance. The teachers are demanding but encouraging and they provide a well-rounded approach that has helped me successfully manage senior studies and dance training while knowing how to look after both my physical and mental health.” ⏤ Lily Tappenden
