Acting classes for children in Manchester

“My daughter is thriving at Stagecoach North Manchester. It’s a lovely supportive class which builds confidence and is most importantly fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth and her team if you’re looking for a performing arts class in Prestwich.”

“Fantastic place for children of all ages. Great for adults that are looking to make acting a career or just need to boost your confidence. Would definitely recommend the drama classes here.”

“I cannot recommend Stagecoach enough - we had a wonderful experience during the summer holidays where we joined the workshop for Revolting Children from Matilda. I was put at ease straight away when Ceri welcomed us and reassured me the children will have fun and will be well looked after, having never left my children anywhere I was anxious. Once I picked them up my mind was put at rest immediately and our boys wanted to go back the following day and go earlier. The work all of the children produced was to a very high standard and this was all rehearsed in less than a week. Stagecoach workshop had such a positive huge impact on both of my sons to the point where we have now joined up for their next term, we are literally on countdown for when the term starts. We cannot wait for the next production, which will be the Christmas show! Thank you Stagecoach Team ☺️”

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“My little girl came to Dawson’s, lacking confidence and not wanting me to leave the room, Miss Niomi was brilliant with her so patient, and now she enjoys dancing so much and even went on stage in front of hundreds of people for the show . Highly recommend and a million thanks to Niomi as she wouldn’t have done it without you ❤️”

“Excellent well run mini theatre, we love the productions they put on.”

“Last night's show was well presented it involved children of all ages and abilities who all displayed confidents.”

“I cannot recommend BSA enough! Since joining BSA 16 years ago, I am still a part of the family now. It is a dance school where confidence is built and friends are made for life. With amazing teachers and opportunities, it is no wonder I couldn’t wait to go back and join adult tap. If you’re thinking about sending your child to dance, there really is nowhere better than Bates Stage Academy!”

“"Some to Watch over me" absolutely brilliant performances by all the cast. Takes you on an emotional and thought provoking journey. The human will to survive and its sense of humour in all situations. Well done to all involved. A great theatre and very welcoming crew.”

“My daughter has attended the dance school for 9 years and currently takes classes 5 days per week. It’s her home from home and she thoroughly enjoys the challenge of the classes and the interactions she has with her teachers and classmates. The variety of class types available is great, including musical theatre which my daughter loves. The encouragement and careful teaching has allowed my daughter to excel and progress through grades gaining high marks at each step. The highlight of our Summer is always the week of Summer School!”

“Just been to watch 'Everyone's talking about Jamie'. Wow, just wow. What a brilliant production. I cried, properly cried and I turned to my friend who was also crying. The acting capability was outstanding. The venue, lovely, small and perfectly adequate. Never been to a show at the Playhouse before, but would 100% return. What an amazing night watching some talented young and older actors.”

“My daughter absolutely loves coming to Footlights. The increase in her confidence was clear to see within a few weeks and I'm thrilled we found Footlights for her.”

“Brilliant summer camp, very well organised. My son really enjoyed it. Thanks to Chanel who was great throughout!”

“ALADD is fantastic, my daughter has been going here for many years, the teachers are wonderful & always have time for each individual child. I would thoroughly recommend sending your daughter/son here.”

“Our daughter has been going here for a few years now. Brilliant dance school - teachers are fantastic, and very welcoming”

“Nicola and the team are very supportive of all students to help them to have fun and build their confidence. Our daughter looks forward to attending each session and always leaves with a smile on her face and a spring in her step”

“Absolutely brilliant stage school x”

“Helens Angels have given my boy, confidence, self belief and helped him develop friendships. All the instructors are friendly and very caring. I would recommend this performing art group to anyone.”

“My daughter has been going to the academy since march 2023 and it has not disappointed! she's learning all different aspects of acting/drama. She attends the seniors class 14 yrs+ there's a good mixture of children.”
