Dance classes for children in Manchester

“My boys absolutely loved their time at Raglan Road. The staff were like extended mothers to my boys and always there to listen if I needed to. There was always great communication and lots of well planned out activities for the boys. I’d highly recommend the playgroup. You need to go and visit and see them for yourself.”

“Absolutely brilliant stage school x”

“Excellent dance academy, my daughter loves it and it is like one big family there. Feel like my daughter is safe there, she is learning quick there and the staff are amazing and treat her so well. Would highly recommend”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“Professional, friendly and fun, and totally focussed on optimising student potential.”

“I have been in K1-Pole & Fitness for mpre than 5 years, even during the pandemic. During these years Karen has always been extremely professional, always on time, delivering high quality lessons, caring about your progress, etc. What I really like about Karen's teaching style is that it is suitable for everyone, beginners, advanced, intro or extraverts. Whatever you want, whatever you need, she will help you to achieve your goals.”

“Excellent performing arts school for children aged between 4-18yrs. Highly reccomend getting in touch”

“After 20 years away from ballet (and off pointe!), I decided to back to adult ballet about 20 kilos heavier and with horribly out of shape arches! Heather's studio is tucked away under a railway bridge so is a little noisy at times, but other than that, it's a gorgeous experience. Heather herself is gentle and sweet, super encouraging (not at all like Madame Pauline when I was young!) and the best thing is: THIS IS A FULLY DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE STUDIO! I wasn't the only person my age (40s), there were all genders (including trans and non-binary people) and ages and colours, which was lovely and welcoming. My class had a working dad in his 50s, who was just as comfy alongside me as the younger, fitter kids. Really loved it and if you can't make it to Salford, Heather offers online courses as well, which are just as challenging and fun!”

“Great experience, lots of fun!”

“Great experience, lots of fun!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Best place to learn Latin and Ballroom.”

“This is a very good drama school I webt to, I might recommend to come”

“Thoroughly impressed! Our daughter has just finished her first term at the United Reform Church in Bramhall. Tutors are excellent and clearly very competent, they really seem able to engage the children and in the first term put on a 15-20min production where you could see all the children were having a blast. All the children remained engaged and all the parents were so proud! Highly recommend!”

“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”

“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.”

“My daughter Lizzy loves her Sunday mornings at stagecoach with Donna and her amazing team. She has developed skills in dance, drama and singing. Her confidence has certainly blossomed. Would highly recommend!”

“My little boy started at Dunky's when he was 7 months and I was so worried about how he was going to cope. The staff were so amazing with him and I could tell instantly that he was in good hands. He has come out of his shell and he loves the days he gets to go in. I feel at ease everyday knowing that he is in safe and capable hands with people that do care for him genuinely. I can never recommend Dunky's enough.”

“Excellent staff, excellent nursery. Josh loved it”

“Always Active sessions have had such a positive impact on my Mum' s life. Her dementia (AD) means she sometimes forgets my name, but she never, and I mean never, forgets what days her Always Active days are on. These are the only days she gets up early and is ready on time. She always wants to go and even though by the time she gets home, she's completely forgotten what she's done during the day, she will always tell me she's had fun and how much she's laughed. The staff are absolutley amazing and I can't praise Gina, Sharon and all the amazing staff enough. Seeing my Mum enjoying herself so much at Always Active sessions is an absolutley priceless feeling. I will be forever grateful. X”

“Such an excellent school. Fabulous staff. A very caring place.”

“Wonderful theatre school. My daughter has really gained confidence and enjoys week after week. The teachers are amazing and motivate the children in a really fun way. Great value for money also. 100% recommended.”

“My grandaughter started when she was 15, initially to build her confidence before college. Now she absolutely loves it (more than college). Since starting Stagecoach I have seen a 100% improvement in her confidence, social skills and dancing and acting. All the staff are amazing and will go above and beyond for the kids and parents. Kimberley the head of the school is simply superb!! She’s so supportive, funny kind and an absolute one off. What you have done for my granddaughter I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much for what you’ve done for her and all the other kids that go.”
