“Forza Dance Studios has been amazing for my girls. The lessons are affordable, high quality and inclusive for all abilities. My children have thrived there and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a dance school for their children.”

“Excellent dance school. All the teachers are talented and friendly. They have so much time for all the dances, from young to old. Older dances help with the younger dancers, it really is one big dance family. My daughter loves attending and has come so far with them.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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”

“My daughter is thriving at Stagecoach North Manchester. It’s a lovely supportive class which builds confidence and is most importantly fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth and her team if you’re looking for a performing arts class in Prestwich.”

“School of Dance and Performing Arts Amanda Rogers 023456 School of Dance and Performing Arts Amanda Rogers”

“Love the beginners course. Attended on my own so have been partnered by the teacher - really enjoying it. For someone who has always loved dance since being a child I'm loving learning the basics all over again. Friendly and relaxed group would highly recommend even if your solo.”

“My daughter has been attending SKSD for a number of years and it has become such an important part of her social and physical development. When she started, she was very shy and being part of such a nurturing school has been pivotal to her progress and she has made many friends at her classes. The teachers are all highly skilled and ensure that they accommodate the needs of the whole group and offer individual support to help her reach her full potential. My daughter has had the opportunity to be part of the most fantastic shows, where the children showcase what they have learnt and it is truly amazing to see the talent that everyone has. She has also taken exams in ballet and tap where she has achieved brilliant results which is a reflection of how great the teachers are.”

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