Who is behind Allegro Learning ?

Allegro Learning was established by Sally Berg and Dave Bisset shortly after they returned to live in NZ during 2010.  Originally situated in north Pollen Street, Allegro was relocated in 2011 when Sally & Dave purchased the property at 605 Queen Street and created teaching studios there.
