Ballet performance opportunities in Manchester

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“A dance school that nurtures, promotes confidence and an inclusive approach giving all dancers the chance to build confidence, resilience and learn a whole new set of skills. Alana embraces every challenge and gives students a whole host of opportunities regardless of whether dance is a hobby or something more serious. Taking the school to regional competitions, hosting huge shows and continually building her own knowledge and skills to support the varying needs of the pupils - being a part of the school for almost 4 years, our daughter not only dances more days than not, but has an environment where she has built the best friendships and feels safe and secure to be exactly who she is without the difficulty of masking her emotions, needs and neurodiversity. Without a safe space with Alana, she wouldn’t be anywhere near as confident as she is today!”

“A really fabulous ballet school. Miss Emma is a wonderful teacher, giving each student individual attention and support within a caring, supportive and fun environment. Highly recommended.”

“My daughter has been going for a couple of years now, Steffi is amazing, I've never met anyone that can bring a child out of their shell so easily... Fun and frolics with a soft side of seriousness. Couldn't recommend sparkles more. Xxx”

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

“Wonderful place to go to school”

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

“My daughter has been with Kings Dance Academy since it opened its doors. She likes going and has met a lot of nice people. I also attend the parents classes when they are ok and I enjoy them. I highly recommend King’s Dance Academy. Teachers are great with the kids.”

“The work lane dance academy put in to the children is amazing. They are very patient, encourage the children to join in and are very very talented at what they do. They invest so much time into the shows. It’s a lovely dance school and would recommend it to everyone”

“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!”

“I attended Cadmans for their Adult Ballroom and Latin class yesterday evening after 13 years of not dancing! I can honestly say I had such a brilliant time - the dance staff are so welcoming and put me at ease, I can’t wait to continue a Thursday evening! Fully recommend for those wanting to return or pick up a new skill x”

“Atomic is an amazing dance school with a warm, positive atmosphere and truly talented instructors. Both my daughter and I really enjoy our classes there. It’s a place where we feel welcomed, encouraged, and excited to learn. Highly recommend for dancers of any age!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“This dance school has incredible teachers and staff and my daughter loves dancing here.”
