Modern dance instruction in Manchester

“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.”

“Turners is an amazing school. We travel across the Pennines to be apart of this wonderful professional dance school. My daughter has danced at turners for several years and has gained not only friendships but awards and has been given ample opportunities and experiences. They treat their students with respect and praise and put everything in to achieving such high standards. Highly recommend dance school with amazing teachers.”

“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'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”

“Wonderful lessons great teachers”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“Professional and friendly dance school which provides classes from the age of 2 through to adults in lots of different styles. Lovely and welcoming teachers with fun classes.”

“I hired Derek to come along to a ladies social evening and we all had such a fantastic time! Derek is such a likeable and enthusiastic person, explaining and demonstrating everything to us. When adding music and disco lights what was there not to like! Fab evening and would certainly recommend him!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My daughter loves dancing thanks to Claire. Great friends and a little family. Highly recommended”

“I took my granddaughter to a class, but did not oserve or experience it myself. She enjoys the classes she attends. Car parking facilities for dropping off and picking up pupils are adequate.”

“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!”

“A very pleasant evening spent here. Most of this theatre is very old but kept quite fresh with the cleanliness. I didn't come across any mustiness that the old cinema had (that was) down the road. Staff were as nice and friendly. A few sound difficulties, but the actors were able to broadcast their voices around.”
