Ballet lessons in Manchester

“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”

“Turners is an amazing school. We travel across the Pennines to be apart of this wonderful professional dance school. My daughter has danced at turners for several years and has gained not only friendships but awards and has been given ample opportunities and experiences. They treat their students with respect and praise and put everything in to achieving such high standards. Highly recommend dance school with amazing teachers.”

“I joined Rachel Stanton School of Dance recently after having many years of ballet background, and I dance more confidently due to Rachel’s amazing teaching, the ballet classes are very comfortable and you can tell Rachel is very passionate about teaching. My technique has improved lots and it’s a great environment to learn in! Thanks”

“My daughter attends this school and it is an amazing dance school. She is currently in a show organised by Golden Dance Studios themselves called ' Step into Broadway' at The Royal Northern College of Music. I went to see the performance last night and was astounded at how amazing the dancers all were. Very well organised professional business. Would definatley recommend.”

“My daughter has been coming here for a year now doing Ballet on Saturday, 45 minute class. She really enjoys her classes with Miss. Emily and Miss Jenny. We absolutely loved the Great Showman performance in the Parr Hall. She loved her beautiful sparkly costume and dancing on the stage. Initially she did not know anyone and now she chats to Jennys mum as she helps her with her muddy football boots and shin pads, (as she come straight off the pitch to ballet) she says her own name for the register and skips into class with a smile. The little things matter and the friendly atmosphere helps her to thrive. I am hoping that the twins will be able to join Little crew shortly. Highly recommended x”

“Excellent dance school, my daughter has made great progress. Teachers supported her to find the style of dance that she enjoys. Value for money.”

“Amazing classes and great teachers!! Currently doing beginners ballroom and Latin dance classes and Tony and Pat are the loveliest people! I have so much fun every week. I couldn’t recommend it more, especially if you’ve never danced before and just want to test it out. I guarantee that you’ll keep coming back (like I did).”

“I've just returned from watching the show at RNCM, my 2 granddaughters were dancing today, I just wanted to say thank you for putting on a truly amazing show, I felt privileged to be able to watch such an amazing spectacle of dancing and music, the story resonated with every parent/grandparents, it was a truly beautiful performance from all ,thankyou xxx”

“Alice has been attending dance studio 1 since 2 1/2 years old and is now 15 She went in as a shy toddler and her confidence has grown immensely. She's done numerous exams in ballet,tap and theatre craft. Every 2 years she's taken part in a stage performance open to the public to watch. Since starting high school she’s become a studio assistant. Helping out with all the younger ones. Because of this Alice had just received a recognition at St Monica's for her dancing and kindness in helping others.Her dancing helped her through the pandemic as it continued throughout on zoom. I cant believe how much Alice has progressed since the beginning. It's not just dancing anymore it's literally her second family. Alice is in her GCSE year at school and dancing is her release for when revising gets tough. Exercise is so important to enable a healthy mind which helps with revision. She's made so many life long friends along the way and so have I. Thank you all at the studio for being so lovely, caring and most of all being the best Lynn x”

“I went to my first Afro Beats class on Thursday. Everyone was so welcoming, a really nice vibe. Rachel the dance teacher was amazing, she goes at your own pace and gives you confidence to have a go and have fun. I certainly had that, can't wait to go next week.”

“A very pleasant evening spent here. Most of this theatre is very old but kept quite fresh with the cleanliness. I didn't come across any mustiness that the old cinema had (that was) down the road. Staff were as nice and friendly. A few sound difficulties, but the actors were able to broadcast their voices around.”

“Such a warming environment of people, the best instructor! All so welcoming :)”

“Really good. Great tuition and patience from the teacher.”

“Best dance school in the area. I love the classes here”

“My daughter has been at the school for 12 months now, it has been fantastic and she has loved every minute. Over the weekend we went to the schools dance performance and WOW I hadn’t realised how many students went and we were so impressed with how professional the performance was at Stockport Plaza. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a professional dance school.”
