My son’s experience of being at diverse for 6 years has been amazing. Musical Theatre is now his chosen career path and he is getting auditions and offers at top London performing arts schools. He couldn’t have done it without the support and love given from his diverse family. Thank you. ❤️

Jasmine Scott

I have been at diverse since I was 6 years old and it has changed my life. Not only have I been able to train by the best teachers but I’ve made a family for life. Scott and Lisa are the most loving teachers you could have and will look out for you like family.

Diverse Performing Arts School is the best school in town which playfully while top-notch skillfully introduces the beautiful world of performing arts to our children, gifts them wonderful memories and presents with extraordinary opportunities. Being in Diverse means a lot of hard work, discipline, perseverance which is rewarded with standing ovations on every appearance. Big-big ‘thank you’ to Scott and Lisa, the amazing and talented teachers and caring staff. We are very happy to be part of the Diverse family.

Ella Afghahi

I have been a student at Diverse for up to 7 years and love every moment of me training there. Not only are we provided with extremely talented and creative teachers but also with many opportunities with performing in up to 3 shows a year. I will always have Diverse very close to my heart and will cherish being a part of the 'Diverse Family' and attending classes with kind, loving students who are always supportive of each other. If you wish to do dance, sing or act as an after-school hobby or wish to pursue it as a career I 100% recommend to go to Diverse.

Rebecca Willicombe

My eldest child first started coming to Diverse Choreography in 2015 when she was 5, followed closely by her sisters, and we've not looked back since! Every year, I am astounded by how incredible their performances are. They are a cut above anything we've ever known before and I am delighted our children get to be a part of it all. The teachers are hard working and dedicated to the children and their progression, in all areas of musical theatre. Children thrive in their classes and grow in confidence and strength. My daughters truly love going to their classes each week. I would highly recommend Diverse Choreography to anyone who has a love of performing arts.

Diverse Performing Arts School is the best place for talented kids in singing, dancing and a lot more! The Teachers were very welcoming and energetic! What I love about this team is that, they're enhancing the kids talent to the max and bring out the best in them! Kudos Team Diverse!

Markus Schoen

Our daughter joined the Diverse family in 2019. She has progressed & developed drastically ever since. This wouldn’t have been possible without the nurturing training carried out by the Diverse Faculty. They’ve guided and trained her within her capacity to achieve her goals from day 1. The staff members are very helpful, kind and dedicated at what they do. We couldn’t have chosen a better extra curricular activity for our daughter and we are very happy that she is a part of the Diverse Family.

Diverse Choreography is an outstanding Performing Arts school. They take the training and safety of your children seriously, whilst striving to maintain the highest possible levels of training. The staff are both nurturing and focused on all of their students, with their sole motivation being to ensure they bring the very best out of all of their students. The school is a family run business headed by Scott and Lisa Marshall, who are extremely talented and experienced performers in their own right. They hire only the very best teachers and trainers, often importing talented personnel from overseas. My son, Devon, is currently working as a professional in the industry after having trained for several years at Diverse Choreography and was subsequently accepted into top Universities and dance schools in both the USA and England. He has gone on to perform in Mamma Mia, Aladdin and several other musicals, TV productions and more since graduating as a professional. His success is largely due to the outstanding training and support he received at Diverse Choreography. We have many fun memories of Devon’s time at Diverse and will always feel like a part of the Diverse Family. I highly recommend this school.

Mridula Gandhi

I have nothing but praise for Diverse. My seven year old daughter joined last term and in a space of only a few months I have seen such a massive improvement in her skills and confidence - all credit to her fabulous teachers, Ms Catherine and Ms Michelle. Their commitment to bringing out the best in each kid while ensuring that the classes are engaging and fun is what sets them, and Diverse as a whole, apart from other dance schools. Another amazing quality about Diverse - it doesn’t feel like a ‘school’ but more like a warm, welcoming, happy family. Its energy and vibe are infectious and this place makes you feel at home right away. Just a top-class place in every way.

Tara Danishmand

Diverse Choreography is by far the best performing arts training center in Dubai. It has provided my son a lifetime of enrichment, creativity and growth, through its classes and teachers. My son has had the opportunity to explore a variety of disciplines.Diverse Choreography has been amazing at helping my son pursue his dream of attending a top USA Drama University. The effort and dedication the teachers have put into preparing Alex for his future is beyond any expectation. The team truly works to get the best from each and every student. Thank you!

Sara Sadik

My daughter is simply obsessed with Diverse! Not only has it given her the passion for dance, but along with that has come the integral principles all parents strive to instill in their children. Principles such as dedication, hard work, focus and drive are just a few of the qualities Adriana has acquired since starting at Diverse Performing Arts School at age 3. In three years I have seen her grow, form friendships (with both older and younger students) and become a part of the Diverse family who continuously push her to be her best while managing to keep every rehearsal, exam and performance fun! I look forward to many more years at Diverse and can honestly say it has simply been the most positive experience for her. As a mom, I'm thrilled to have her spend so many hours a week in a place that promotes only the best aspects in performing arts.

Sam Clements

My daughter joined Diverse just over a year ago and loves it! From her weekly lessons to performing in shows, she thoroughly enjoys every minute of the Diverse. She has made many lovely friends and performed in a show like no other dance show she has ever been in before! Seeing the older ballet dancers and performers really inspired her to become involved in more! Thank you to all at Diverse that make everyone feel so welcome.
