Dance performance art in Manchester

“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”

“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.”

“I have two left feet but Sam the dance teacher has given me the confidence to stick at it, and she has the patience and encouragement to enjoy the dancing. ( even though I struggle which is my fault).”

“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.”

“ALADD is fantastic, my daughter has been going here for many years, the teachers are wonderful & always have time for each individual child. I would thoroughly recommend sending your daughter/son here.”

“The ambience, instructors and staffs are welcoming and lovely”

“I love dancing at diamond dance academy I recommend for all adults it is fun and amazing dance teacher and meet new friends”

“Having danced here for years, I can safely say this school will take you where you want to go. From dancing for fun to taking exams, to professional training, FBSD will help you get there. I trained there from age 2 and 3/4 til the age of 16, when I left for professional ballet school. The school teaches tap, modern dance, ballet, contemporary, street, and has biennial shows (super fun!). The teachers are all ISTD and Cecchetti Ballet qualified to the highest level, which involves rigorous exams. Teacher training is also available at the school. In short, it's fun, safe, and like a family. I've forged friendships there and had fantastic times performing and dancing.”

“It's not just a dance school it's a family. My children have been here for years and it's such a huge part of their lives! The team are so friendly and welcoming it's a lovely atmosphere!”

“Rise Dance is the best, I wouldn’t send my girls anywhere else. Liesl and Elle are friendly, approachable and supportive. They helped my daughter (who struggles) to build confidence in herself and abilities, both my girls have made new friends and been involved in the annual show every year from the ages of 2/3 (over the past 9 years) and recently taken part in multiple acro competitions. I can’t recommend them enough.”

“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.”

“Incredible Experience" "Atherton Dance Centre truly exceeded my expectations! My audit Performance Dance Rehearsal experience there was nothing short of incredible. The dedication of teachers like Clive Donaldson and Alison Jones shines through; they are both wonderfully encouraging and highly skilled, cultivating a learning environment that is both positive and disciplined. What I particularly loved was their emphasis on proper technique, the strong sense of a friendly community, and the high standards set for performance opportunities, even during rehearsal. With clean, well-maintained facilities and a brilliant variety of classes on offer, Atherton Dance Centre provides an outstanding dance education for anyone, from beginners to advanced dancers. Highly recommended!”

“Been dancing at this dance school since age of 4. I am now 19 and still dancing there. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere with no pressure whatsoever. We are always a team and we also get given amazing opportunities within the dance industry e.g performing at west end theatres.”

“My 5 year old daughter has had 2 lessons with Alex and she is hooked. Lovely patient teacher and very friendly class. Would highly recommend”

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

“My daughter loves going to Base. Fantastic teaching staff and classes, children are able to develop skills whilst enjoying themselves. Teachers give the children amazing opportunities to progress their skills”

“Great Performing Arts school based in Romiley. Adam and the guys are experienced professional actors who really get the most out of the kids.”

“Lively, friendly classes. I started as a complete beginner to learn how to act and build confidence. I've learned so much since I joined last year, through a variety of activities as well as great constructive feedback and my confidence has grown hugely. Definitely worth it.”

“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!”

“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”

“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”

“Very professionally run. My daughter looks forward to her classes every week. The other children are very friendly and she just loves the teacher.”

“Amazing great deals and great overall”
