Ballet lessons for beginners in Manchester

“Darren is a great teacher with the patience of a Saint. I've never danced in my life and only went because the wife wanted to go, but I really enjoy it. Classes are held at the Methodist Church Hall Denton ( opposite Morrisons Crown Point) 6.30 to 7.30 for beginners. 7.30 to 8.30 for intermediates.”

“Brilliant ballet school. My 5 year old was made to feel very welcome and absolutely loves her class. Miss Emily is so good and patient with the kids. Saddleworth Ballet School was recommended to me by a friend and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.”

“Professional and friendly dance school which provides classes from the age of 2 through to adults in lots of different styles. Lovely and welcoming teachers with fun classes.”

“Emma provides fantastic ballet coaching which i highly recommend. Emma has supported me with RAD exam prep that has greatly improved my technique, particularly my adagio and extensions. Emma manages to keep the sessions fun and enjoyable whilst maintaining focus on goal attainment”

“The staff are very nice and friendly they would never let anyone down”

“My daughter really enjoys her classes with Heatherlea. Jo, Jade, Olivia and all the student helpers but in so much effort every week. The shows are also a real highlight!”

“Laura choreographed our wedding dance for us and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! We loved every second of learning the dance at Laura’s beautiful dance school and it was amazing to be able to show the dance to our friends and family on the wedding day. It was really special for Laura to choreograph our dance as I’m an ex student of Laura’s. We would highly recommend Laura for all of your dancing needs whether you’re looking for wedding dance classes, adult classes or classes for your child.”

“My two girls have been with Damien Hey Dance Academy for six months, and we couldn’t be happier. Both Damien and Sam always go above and beyond to make sure all of their students achieve what they are capable of, but more importantly provide a nurturing environment that their kids feel happy in and are made to feel part of the DHDA family as soon as they walk through the door for the first time! They are fully invested from day one! Both girls already having danced for a number of years at a different school, we made the move to DHDA and the incredible progress they have both made absolutely makes the 490 mile round trip for lessons worth it! They come home enthusiastic and excited for the next one. I cannot thank Damien and Sam enough for all they do! If I could give more than five stars on here I would!”

“I wanted to get my 8 year old into something to keep her active and something she enjoys as seen her dancing a lot when watching you tube. Searched on google as you do and came across JD dance and it was the best thing I ever did. The staff are amazing the owner Jenny is wonderful and everyone who is a part of JD dance are so welcoming feel a part of a big family now and would recommend to anyone.”

“My daughter joined Starlight over a year ago. She really loves the lyrical dance session and what I appreciate is the lack of exams and snobbery at the school. It makes her soul sing to be a part of such an inclusive, dynamic, nurturing and encouraging dance school. Thank you for all the opportunities you’ve provided for her too, to be on stage at The Waterside and Sadlers’ Wells even though she’s only been dancing a year. I did try to bring her to dance classes several times but it’s not until she’s towards the end of primary that she’s been brave enough to throw herself into it and it’s wonderful to see!”

“Absolutely amazing dance teachers! They are so patient and caring towards the children but still manage to make it super fun! Amanda hosted the best dance party for us! Everything was so thought out, it was a breeze for me as a parent. Amanda tailored everything to my daughter's tastes and needs I can't thank her enough. Definitely recommend for dance classes and dance parties!!”

“Footsteps is a wonderful dance school for all abilities. With excellent leadership the teachers care for each dancers needs and ensure the children have fun. The shows are a highlight and show case the passion and enthusiasm that is captured during the lessons. If your child is curious about dancing or a keen dancer already I would highly recommend Footsteps Dance School. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed nearly 10 years dancing with Footsteps.”

“My daughter enrolled in classes at RF Dance School a few years ago, and we have been thoroughly impressed with the experience! The instructors are not only talented and knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. Each session is filled with energy and passion, making learning both enjoyable and rewarding. The community here is welcoming, and she made great friendships along the way. Whether you're a beginner or a dancer, this school offers something for everyone. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their children skills or explore their love of dance or acro;) RF Dance school was the right choice for us and I am pretty sure it will be the right choice for you too.”

“I cannot rate this dance school enough. My daughter had her ballet exam there yesterday and the staff were terrific. There was a pre-exam rehearsal and free ballet bun making if required. The staff really care about the children while setting the bar high. Thanks Miss Kerry and Miss Stalder!”

“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 ❤️”

“My daughter joined the danced studio about 3 years ago and the confidence it has gave her is amazing. The teachers are amazing and they include all the dancers and no one ever gets left out. All the children help each other out and praise each other with learning. Best decision I made to allow my daughter to attend here”

“Brilliant dance school, very safe and welcoming.”

“Absolutely love Holly Hulton’s dance school! My daughter has been going for nearly two years now and still looks forward to every class. Miss Holly is an amazing teacher — so kind, and brilliant with the kids. The atmosphere is always positive and fun, and you can really see how much the children grow in confidence. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter has been dancing with vibe since she was 4. Great opportunities to dance in shows and competitions. She absolutely loves her vibe family.”

“Freedom is an amazing place for the kids and adults to dance. Everyone is polite and kind to each other and always helping each other out. The staff are all lovely and friendly and helpful. There are many options at freedom. The Christmas presentation are always so festive and it’s nice to see how hard everyone works. Xx”

“My daughter absolutely loves dancing here. She's been made to feel so welcome coming from another dance school and fitted in so well straight away. Shes come on in leaps and bounds. Miss Sally is just so lovely too. She's so good with the girls. They all love her. It's so good to see. Like a family. And I've made some lovely friends there too with the dance mum's. X”

“My 2 girls have been dancing here since the school opened and they absolutely love it! There are so many classes to choose from, starting at baby classes for the little ones to acro dance class and street dance and then freestyle and Latin too! The teachers and principal are so welcoming and really do pay so much attention to all the children and make them feel like they can achieve anything. Couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“This is an amazing dance school it has given our daughter so much confidence. She loves going every week to see her dance family , we have loved seeing her progress over the last few years, it is such a welcoming and friendly dance school”

“The most nurturing dance school with exceptional training, exceptionally caring teachers and a standard of dance education that is second to non. So very thankful for all CPA do for my daughter and seeing how much she has flourished under their care, training and guidance during the past 3 years has been a joy to see. We travel quite a distance to attend CPA, but is worth every mile and cannot recommend enough. My daughter is now going onto attend the Classical Pathway Btec course at CPA and we are over the moon that this is an option for dancers leaving school wishing to consider a career within this industry. Central performing arts truly is a magical place where a child’s love of dance is inspired by teachers who really do have their best interests at heart, in addition to being industry professionals who have themselves worked or are still working/performing. Truly inspirational dance school and dance community.”

“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!”

“lovely studio with multi level classes. With friendly dancers and professional teachers”
