Beginner classes in Altrincham

“I took my 8-year old boy for boxing lessons. The class is amazing, great atmosphere, great training and my son absolutely loves it.”

“My son Oliver has been attending Aura music Academy for several years now learning to play drum (acoustic). He attended a couple of different taster sessions so he could decide where he wanted to learn and chose Aura. He has had a few different tutors along the way but has connected well with them which is important for him to engage fully. Regular updates on the school and lesson notes shared so we can see how he continues to progress.”

“Can’t compliment June Rendell enough. My daughter has attended classes for over 7 years now and continues to receive the best advice , support and opportunities to do what she loves doing. She has made so many friends and loves her JRADA family ❤️”

“I too, am a 'mature student' and have thoroughly enjoyed my piano lessons over the years. I've been attending Dawson's Music School since 2012 and in that time, not only have I reached Grade 6 but have met some lovely people of all ages and abilities. I totally agree with previous comments and find the small group classes just perfect for me. I would heartily recommend giving Dawson's a call, no matter what age or experience you may or may not have.”

“Paul is a knowledgable and passionate teacher, and able to break down complex theory into easy fun manageable exercises. He is very positive and a good technical player.”

“Wonderful place and people who go there”

“Took my son to little kickers from 18 months. Brilliant well structured classes ran by fantastic coaches, would recommend to anyone. My son now plays for a team and definitely benefited from the coaching he received at little kickers.”

“As a new golfer, I first went to Richard for a club fitting. I was immediately impressed by the data analysis he presented to me after I tested a number of different brands and models of irons. This allowed us to make an informed decision when choosing the set to order. Once my set of irons arrived I initiated my first block of lessons at The Golf School. As anyone will know who plays golf, there are so many elements to a golf swing but the highly technical launch monitors, camera systems and teaching aids that Richard uses at his facility really help you to understand your swing and see the impact when you make changes. When things don’t go so well you can more easily identify which area you need to work on too. The indoor facilities allow you to continue with lessons and practice no matter what the weather, enabling further improvement throughout the winter season when you might otherwise have not been out as much as you would have liked. Richard is a great communicator and he ensures you have a clear understanding of his teaching. He is informative and friendly and delivers his lessons in a relaxed environment. I am incredibly pleased with the progress I have made since having lessons with Richard and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game technically but also psychologically.”

“The Bowdon Rooms were amazing. Allison, Héléna, and the team were outstanding. Their attention to detail is second to none and we had nothing to worry about. From our first initial enquiry, right through to the wedding day itself Any questions we had were dealt with quickly. They put us at ease and let us enjoy the day. We couldn’t recommend The Bowdon Rooms enough for a wedding. A beautiful unique venue. Our guests were blown away, and we’ve had nothing but compliments since.”

“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!”

“I’ve worked with Matt for 7 years and he’s definitely improved my core strength and flexibility. His 815 Monday class is enjoyable and painful in equal measures!”

“I had no idea that Pilates would bring such amazingness into life! I love the teachers, the variety of exercises, the different levels available from beginner to advance. I love how I feel afterwards. My body is so much stronger, supple, flexible and without pain since I started at Equilibrium. I also feel and look slimmer and firmer and understand so much more about my body. Not only this but emotionally its a really healthy place - if I ever arrive feeling stressed with the day to day stuff that takes its toll, I always leave with this gone and feeling bright and cheery! I am SO GRATEFUL to Lindsey and the team for all their expertise, hard work and dedication. They are an amazing team. I would (and do) recommend it to everyone I can!!!”

“A great gym for all levels, with some really high level players here. I was welcomed by Kam, who is a down to earth, approachable coach, with a fantastic teaching style that makes martial arts accessible for everyone.”

“A friendly and fun environment for absolutely everyone! Children make friends for life and learn various skills across the arts!”

“A fantastic dance school. My daughter has attended classes here for about 14 years! Started as a toddler in a pink frilly tutu! The dance teacher Lesley is lovely and patiently teaches all the children from toddlers to teens and runs adult classes for fitness as well. It’s very much a calm and no pressure environment. Affordable. There is the opportunity to achieve dance grades with certificates, medals and trophies. There is a dance show to take part in each year which again is fun with no pressure on the children and also costumes and tickets etc are much more affordable than other places. My daughter has loads of hobbies and interests but this is the longest lasting …. I think Lesley also provides her with a safe place to talk about her stressful life issues…..even more important in the teenage years! I’ve met lots of other lovely mums throughout the years too!”

“I have been training with W.K.K.A. England for 12 years now and it has brought many different attributes into my life which I haven’t had before, some of these being: Confidence Laughter and joy And having a skill in self defence For anyone interested in doing a form of martial arts, I would highly reccomend joining W.K.K.A. england and training here at boden church school as it has changed my life in many different ways.”

“Kids absolutely love the class and even now during this extremely uncertain times the zoom class are brilliant”
