Dance performance opportunities in Manchester

“Fantastic dance school!!! All of the teachers go above and beyond for all their students. My daughter has grown and developed so much here, they also have great SEN provisions including a teacher with specific experience who is amazing, as they all are!!! We honestly can not thank you enough for all you do!!! Xxx”

“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 daughters love going to Wild Things, it has made their confidence flourish and they love going every week. Tom and Nancy and the staff are fantastic with the children and encourage every child to be themselves. It's more than just a drama school, it's a place that will make every child feel valued. The shows they put on are amazing and seeing our girls on stage performing fills us with pride. They don't hesitate to stand up infront of their class now and that is all down to Wild Things.”

“Laura choreographed our wedding dance for us and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! We loved every second of learning the dance at Laura’s beautiful dance school and it was amazing to be able to show the dance to our friends and family on the wedding day. It was really special for Laura to choreograph our dance as I’m an ex student of Laura’s. We would highly recommend Laura for all of your dancing needs whether you’re looking for wedding dance classes, adult classes or classes for your child.”

“I cannot rate this dance school enough. My daughter had her ballet exam there yesterday and the staff were terrific. There was a pre-exam rehearsal and free ballet bun making if required. The staff really care about the children while setting the bar high. Thanks Miss Kerry and Miss Stalder!”

“My little girl came to Dawson’s, lacking confidence and not wanting me to leave the room, Miss Niomi was brilliant with her so patient, and now she enjoys dancing so much and even went on stage in front of hundreds of people for the show . Highly recommend and a million thanks to Niomi as she wouldn’t have done it without you ❤️”

“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 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!”

“What a show amazing dancing and some lovely voices well done to all”

“My daughter attends this school and it is an amazing dance school. She is currently in a show organised by Golden Dance Studios themselves called ' Step into Broadway' at The Royal Northern College of Music. I went to see the performance last night and was astounded at how amazing the dancers all were. Very well organised professional business. Would definatley recommend.”

“The work lane dance academy put in to the children is amazing. They are very patient, encourage the children to join in and are very very talented at what they do. They invest so much time into the shows. It’s a lovely dance school and would recommend it to everyone”

“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 ♥️”

“My daughter absolutely loves dancing here. She's been made to feel so welcome coming from another dance school and fitted in so well straight away. Shes come on in leaps and bounds. Miss Sally is just so lovely too. She's so good with the girls. They all love her. It's so good to see. Like a family. And I've made some lovely friends there too with the dance mum's. X”

“I attended Cadmans for their Adult Ballroom and Latin class yesterday evening after 13 years of not dancing! I can honestly say I had such a brilliant time - the dance staff are so welcoming and put me at ease, I can’t wait to continue a Thursday evening! Fully recommend for those wanting to return or pick up a new skill x”

“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”

“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.”

“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 daughter has attended the dance school for 9 years and currently takes classes 5 days per week. It’s her home from home and she thoroughly enjoys the challenge of the classes and the interactions she has with her teachers and classmates. The variety of class types available is great, including musical theatre which my daughter loves. The encouragement and careful teaching has allowed my daughter to excel and progress through grades gaining high marks at each step. The highlight of our Summer is always the week of Summer School!”

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

“I've just returned from watching the show at RNCM, my 2 granddaughters were dancing today, I just wanted to say thank you for putting on a truly amazing show, I felt privileged to be able to watch such an amazing spectacle of dancing and music, the story resonated with every parent/grandparents, it was a truly beautiful performance from all ,thankyou xxx”

“My son has been attending J star academy for 3 months now and honestly I have found the whole experience with him amazing. I have seen his confidence grow and watching the recent performance put together with the acamdemy brought a lot of happiness. Highly recommend this academy for parents looking for activities with their young ones.”

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