The 30 Best Dance school in Belfast

“Me and my wife learned our wedding dance with Mariona. We are total amatures but Mariona managed to teach us a personalised routine and gave us the confidance to do it at out wedding and it turned out amazing. We will be sending our children to her dance classes as she is so good with with the kids in her classes. Would highly reccomend Activa Dansa”

“I nervously booked this as part of a birthday weekend for my wife and was nervous as neither of us had any experience and can be quite shy. It was the highlight of the weekend and we're already talking about going back. Phil and the crew were so welcoming, amazing teachers and clearly so passionate about dance. If you have any doubts about going to a class please read this review and take it as a sign it's time to learn something about dance! No experience or rhythm required!”

“We had a lovely experience working with Louise and Kevin in prep of our first dance. Both were so flexible and accommodating in regards to scheduling regular sessions and Kevin was so encouraging and patient during our lessons! We absolutely loved the dance that was choreographed to our chosen song and always looked forward to our lessons! Would 100% recommend to any future couples!”

“We started a social dance class with Alan at the start of the year and haven’t stopped dancing yet! Alan is a wonderful teacher with years of experience and makes the most complicated dances seem easily achievable. Would definitely recommend If you want to improve your dancing skills for all occasions.”

“Amazing place to learn Ballet!! Would recommend to anyone!!”

“An amazing dance school catering to all ages and stages. I take both of my toddlers and the class is fantastic, super fun for the kids and really encourages a lot of skills and development. I couldn’t recommend excel enough to anyone thinking of joining! The girls are brilliant with the kids and really give the kids confidence to join in and interact with each other. We’ve tried lots of children’s groups and excel is by far the kids (and mine) favourite!”

“My daughter first went to Naomi Orr School Of Dance when she was 4 years old, to attend a summer scheme. She was made very welcome by Naomi, Mandy and all the other dancers (+parents). It's a fantastic dance school, the children have so much fun and Naomi loves each and every child as though they were her own. That was almost 4 years ago, and we've never looked back since! My daughter loves Jazz, Ballet, Acro, Lyrical, HipHop and the two shows per year the children perform in, for the parents! She has also had the opportunity to take dance examinations, workshops with famous dance choreographers including Abbie-Lee Millar! She has also had the opportunity to dance in competitions Noone is forced to compete if they don't want to, but if they do...they're in the best place! No matter if it's just a bit of fun, or your child wants to take it to the next level...there is something for everyone at Naomi Orr School Of Dance. Best decision we ever made was to give this a try, my daughter has made memories to last a life time and many more to come...none of which would have been possible without the amazing Naomi Orr. Absolutely fantastic teacher and a best friend to all the children, and Mandy Orr -everyones second mummy”

“Nuala, Tony and the team are AMAZING! From costumes, to socks and practice kit, to their own Celtic Arch shoes (which are unbelievable BTW), they always try to get you sorted. Best prices in town for all your Irish dancing needs. From CLRG to FDTA to CRDM and everyone in-between.”

“Great fun classes, relaxed and very friendly atmosphere!”

“Really nice, my daughter loves it”

“My daughter (3) was born with severe torticollis of her neck and spine. She spent over a year of her little life in physio and still has hyper mobility issues. Doctors recommended dance or ballet for developing her muscles and alignment of her posture to help. PadNI has been life-changing for her. She has flourished in the ballet classes, learning balance, building strength and coordination. The early years programme is brilliant for children and I cannot thank Charlotte and her team enough. She has gained so much confidence and concentration- rather than being labelled as “the clumsy kid” she shows great progress in her spinal development and agility. She still has some big falls when walking or running, but learning to dance and the patience the teachers show her has paid off in spades. She loves her dance class so much and we hope she continues to build her strength as time goes on. The classes have been amazing! Highly recommend.”

“Brillant Dance school my daughter loves her classes!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Victoria, nothing but professional and takes the time to run through each step until u have it down. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to try out a few new dance moves if just for fitness/exercise or for that special occasion. Thanks for everything Victoria xx”

“Brilliant place to send all ages of children super friendlyyy”

“I can't recommend Adele enough, a top teacher, super technical, with massive experience. Absolutely love her classes!”

“My daughter Louise started ballet with Hannah McKillen when she was six. Louise is now 11 and her love of dance, and her skills in many different genres has grown amazingly. It was wonderful this year seeing her progress to pointe in ballet. Louise is also really looking forward to sitting her Grade 4 RAD ballet exam soon. Hannah’s enthusiasm and genuine passion to teach is infectious making her students strive to achieve their absolute best. Louise also really enjoys her hiphop classes with Brooke Totten an incredible dancer as well as teacher. Brookes hiphop classes are fun, fast and definitely make you fit! Would highly recommend the McKillen School of Dance to anyone whose child loves to dance.”

“Best dancing classes I've tried.”

“I love going there and dancing. The studio has a good atmosphere, and the teachers are really kind.”

“Dancing is a hard profession! Finding the right dance school and teacher is key to your child’s success. My daughter has been dancing with Neil for nearly 3 years. During that time she has excelled under his tuition. His professionalism and expertise is second to none. The Company is a safe, fun, happy place where little dancers can make memories and older dancers can follow their dreams x”

“Taking classes with SBIDA has been the best thing I have done in years - it is genuinely the highlight of my week, every week (and I know many other people feel the same way!). Ethan and all of the wonderful instructors have created the most incredible and welcoming community. The classes are so much fun - all of the people (instructors and students) are wonderful and friendly, and the classes provide a safe, fun, encouraging and amazing learning environment (that caters to a wide range of experience levels). The class time always goes by so fast, as its so much fun. I cannot recommend SBIDA enough! I even hired them to run a corporate event for my work (Intro to Irish dance workshop), which my colleagues were raving about for days. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone, and I am so happy to be involved in the beautiful community they have built. Keep up the fantastic work :) I would give them 6 stars if I could!”

“Nice Indian style Dance school with professional Dance Teacher”

“Rana has come from a professional ballerina background. This is clearly evident from day one. Her knowledge of Ballet is extensive and she works tirelessly to get the best from every pupil. Having sent three children to this school, I couldn’t speak highly enough of it. My children have been part of shows, completed grades and have been given endless opportunities. Attending this school means you are certainly learning from the best!”

“Julie is an excellent dance teacher! So patient and kind with the students and they enjoy the classes very much which gets great results! My daughter has been attending her ballet classes at Stormont for 10 years now!”
