Performance opportunities 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 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!”

“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”

“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 ♥️”

“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 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!”

“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 been coming to MTA for just over a year now and I couldn't be more thankful for the incredible Team! They have been nothing but supportive and fun! The leaders put their hearts into giving us the best drama possible! They have given me opportunities I could get no where else! From the workshops to the shows everything we do at MTA is so much fun!

“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”

“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.”

“My daughter Lizzy loves her Sunday mornings at stagecoach with Donna and her amazing team. She has developed skills in dance, drama and singing. Her confidence has certainly blossomed. Would highly recommend!”

“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 ☺️”

“This was my first choice for music based universities in 2023 as it is in a city that is growing every day. I am now in my final year at BIMM Institute Manchester and it has been everything I wanted and more.

The modules that are taught give you every piece of information you will need across all subject areas.”
