The 30 Best Dance classes for confidence building in Manchester

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“I've been to a lot of different classes here over the years, and the teaching quality has always been great. They've got a ton of nice equipment (which they keep *very* clean), and lessons are always well planned out to challenge each person in the class. I've also done occasional private lessons to work on specific goals, and they've been really helpful each time. The instructors are friendly and approachable, and I'd absolutely recommend Bodybarre to people at any level of fitness. Lots of fun to be had!”

“Amazing Coaching team. My daughter absolutely loves it and has gained so much confidence through dance! Couldn't recommend more if I tried!!!”

“Blush is a very welcoming studio with friendly and encouraging instructors. Learning aerial hoop has been a great way to keep fit and build strength while also building confidence and having fun.”

“Amazing place! Completely in love with the atmosphere, instructors and classes! They make you welcome, make you laugh, you end up being part of a massive family. It's not a dance school, it's a community. Classes are catered for all abilities so even if you think you can't dance, they'll teach you step by step with patience and a good enough pace, you just need to commit to it. You'll make new friends and have loads of great time. You dont need to worry you don't have a partner as you'll dance with everyone in your class!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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).”

“My daughter has been going to little voices for a few months now and she absolutely loves it, her concentration is noticeably improved and she cant wait to go back every week”

“A fantastic dance school, well run and very welcoming to children and adults of all ages.”

“We have had five lessons so far with Ray and they have been excellent. We love dancing together but have always found doing any kind of formal dancing hard. Ray is changing that.”

“My Daughter (3) loves coming to this class and enjoys showing her Family the new moves shes learned each week. Miss Emily is so lovely and I'd recommend to anyone”

“For next fall doing a dance classes of ballroom & tap & line & My own movement with myself.”

“amazing classes, something for everyone, for all ages!! :)”

“Our daughter has been going to Utopia since it opened and absolutely loves her dance family. She has progressed so much since joining Utopia. Lovely group of girls. Lauren Emma and Ash are brilliant teachers, experienced, supportive and approachable. Highly recommended xx”

“Absolutely fantasic teachers are brilliant and go above and beyond for their students my daughters both love coming here”

“My daughter loves it here. She has been going for nearly 7 years and has gained so much confidence in that time. She has also made lifelong friendships. The yearly show is fantastic when the kids get to showcase all their hard work. I as a parent also like the fact Singletons hold yearly IDTA examinations which is a widely recognised dance exam board. My daughter is nearly 15 now and hasn’t shown any signs of wanting to quit her dancing!”

“I adore this place has really understanding teachers that support your needs. Highly recommend”

“A nice atmosphere we felt welcome.”

“What a fantastic place. My little girl loves coming to the 9AM class. She looks forward to and to seeing her friendly teachers.”

“An excellent dance school, my little one looks forward to going each week. Miss Katie's patience with the tiny ones is amazing and she keeps they learning and all following her every move! Thank you!”
