Dance faculty in Manchester

“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“Amazing dance school. My son has attended for over 6 years. The teachers are incredible, it has a lovely atmosphere and they put on amazing shows at the theatre. Great school and amazing memories to be made. All types of dance to suit everybody, great confidence building. Would recommend”

“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 been going for nearly 2 years now and loves every second. Her progress is fantastic! Thanks miss rebekah!”

“Best Dance Studio in Manchester! Great session structure, passionate teacher, stunning atmosphere!”

“My daughter has been attending the elevate classes for a year of street dance/commercial and after their amazingly organized and carried out showcase show performance she was inspired to join the lyrical classes as well. The proprietor and teacher Miss Amelia is skillful inspiring and able as my daughter was so impressed with the teachers abilities to showcase the technique of the dances with commitment! My daughter is attending the lessons for almost two years at age 10 now. I recommend the school so does my daughter.”

“Helpful teachers and welcoming dance school, love dancing here”

“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!”

“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!”

“2 of my children have attended Gwyneth Hare School of dancing, and both daughters adored going each week. They have undertaken extra lessons midweek as well as Saturdays due to pure enjoyment and dance dedication. They have always spoken fondly of their dancing and achieved a number of awards & certificates through exams. A wonderful dance school”

“Nice and lovely staff. Great place for your kid/kids.”

“My daughter feels welcome straight away”

“Fantastic dance school catering for dancers of all ages and levels. All the teachers At RF Dance Academy Atherton are Amazing and you will get the highest level of teaching whilst feeling part of dance family and having fun whilst learning to dance. Very highly recommended!!”

“Amelia at Elevate is amazing with my little girl Lottie. My little girl was once a shy/ introverted little girl until she started doing ballet with Amelia, she loves ballet so much and enjoys every lessons and really looks up to Amelia as her teacher ( even wants her hair like hers, always) which just shows the impact that she makes. Thank you so much for helping my little girl come out of her shell doing something she loves. I would highly recommend elevate to everyone wanting to start their children ballet.”

“I cannot recommend Stagecoach enough - we had a wonderful experience during the summer holidays where we joined the workshop for Revolting Children from Matilda. I was put at ease straight away when Ceri welcomed us and reassured me the children will have fun and will be well looked after, having never left my children anywhere I was anxious. Once I picked them up my mind was put at rest immediately and our boys wanted to go back the following day and go earlier. The work all of the children produced was to a very high standard and this was all rehearsed in less than a week. Stagecoach workshop had such a positive huge impact on both of my sons to the point where we have now joined up for their next term, we are literally on countdown for when the term starts. We cannot wait for the next production, which will be the Christmas show! Thank you Stagecoach Team ☺️”

“Superb school and college with a highly skilled and qualified faculty. Nurturing students from tiny tots to those looking to become professionals.”

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

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“Amazing performing arts club. Molly and her crew are amazing facilitators and my two daughters absolutely love them and the club. It’s such a supportive, fun and positive organisation and they’ve made so many friends. Can’t recommend enough!”

“My daughter has been attending the juniors class for a year and absolutely adores it. She has grown in confidence indeed her class teacher mentioned it at parents evening. The tutors are fabulous . I can thoroughly recommend First Act”

“Fantastic dance school Made to feel welcome the minute you walk through the door Endless opportunities for children to thrive in the performing arts”

“My little boy (3) has been attending TNA since just after just 1st birthday and will soon be turning 4. He does the lil Beatz dance class and he attends musical theatre. He loves attending Dance and Drama each week and has made lots of friends. He adores all the staff and has a good relationship with some of the girls in the older classes too. My son has a lot of energy and attending these classes has helped him learn positive ways to Chanel that energy and his listening ears have improved massively. I would highly recommend TNA to anyone looking for extra classes for their children. TNA isn’t just a dance studio, it’s a community, a family ♥️”

“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!”

“My daughter absolutely loves coming to Footlights. The increase in her confidence was clear to see within a few weeks and I'm thrilled we found Footlights for her.”
