“Brilliant dance school, very safe and welcoming.”

“Amazing dance school which is fantastically ran by Sophie, Heidi and Alison. Our girls have been attending from a young age learning tap and street dance. From taking part in annual shows to making life long friends it's a really great organisation for your child to get involved with. Plus they do adult classes as well which my better half attends. Highly recommended!”

“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 6-year-old daughter took part in a 4-day holiday club at Little Voices this summer. Despite it being her first time there and not knowing any of the other children beforehand, she came running out on the first day with a big smile, excitedly sharing stories about her "new friends!" At the end of the week, parents were invited to watch the children's performance, and it was truly remarkable! Every child had a chance to shine in their own unique way, which was delightful to watch. Little Voices is such a nurturing environment and there was absolutely no pressure on the children over the 4 days, as some might worry about; the focus was on having fun—and my daughter certainly did that! We will be back, for sure. Thank you, Laura...you are amazing!”

“Really friendly gym, loads of great coaches and even better having a female black belt. Family-friendly atmosphere, would definitely recommend as myself and my son love it.”

“Beautiful museum with stunning architecture. The aquarium hiding in the basement is fab. Very educational content. Egyptian room is amazing and natural history is awesome too. There are little hands on bits and dress up woven into the museum's journey for little ones.”

“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!”

“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”

“Fantastic place for children of all ages. Great for adults that are looking to make acting a career or just need to boost your confidence. Would definitely recommend the drama classes here.”

“My grandaughter started when she was 15, initially to build her confidence before college. Now she absolutely loves it (more than college). Since starting Stagecoach I have seen a 100% improvement in her confidence, social skills and dancing and acting. All the staff are amazing and will go above and beyond for the kids and parents. Kimberley the head of the school is simply superb!! She’s so supportive, funny kind and an absolute one off. What you have done for my granddaughter I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much for what you’ve done for her and all the other kids that go.”

“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 ❤️”

“Absolutely love Holly Hulton’s dance school! My daughter has been going for nearly two years now and still looks forward to every class. Miss Holly is an amazing teacher — so kind, and brilliant with the kids. The atmosphere is always positive and fun, and you can really see how much the children grow in confidence. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic dance school Made to feel welcome the minute you walk through the door Endless opportunities for children to thrive in the performing arts”

“I joined Rachel Stanton School of Dance recently after having many years of ballet background, and I dance more confidently due to Rachel’s amazing teaching, the ballet classes are very comfortable and you can tell Rachel is very passionate about teaching. My technique has improved lots and it’s a great environment to learn in! Thanks”

“Nice little theatre. Some really talented kids. Everyone there is really friendly, plenty of refreshments. Good to support this type of local venue.”

“A gem of a theatre for Bolton and surrounding areas. I've seen a wide variety of productions here over the years. From excellent stand up comedy, to great drama and inventive musicals. Good food in the attached restaurant and bar. The recent production of Dickens' Christmas Carol was brilliant and entertaining. Highly recommended venue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“My son enjoys attending the drama lessons. It has boosted his self confidence and the staff are courteous, professional and caring.”

“Amazing. Came here with 6 year old daughter for Easter crafts. Really well organised day. My daughter loved it. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Thank you!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My daughter has been going to the academy since march 2023 and it has not disappointed! she's learning all different aspects of acting/drama. She attends the seniors class 14 yrs+ there's a good mixture of children.”

“We can not thank Drama Academy North West enough for bringing out so much confidence in our daughters. Our youngest daughter loves the ‘Discover’ class. It’s amazing that at such a young age she is confident enough to sing, dance and perform in front of other people to the standard that you’d expect from a much older child. Our eldest has been to other local drama schools in Bolton, but we feel that she didn’t get much benefit from the other classes as they lacked structure. Now with Drama Academy North West, she has come on leaps and bounds in the ‘Explore’ class, with the correct professional coaching, at a fraction of the price of the other schools! She has now been approached to perform in local productions! PS. I enjoy the coffee while I wait in the onsite coffee bar, it’s delicious!”

“My daughter has been attending this dance school for 12 years now since she was a toddler! Highly recommended - wonderful atmosphere and high quality teaching.”

“Highly recommend. Really helped my son with his confidence.”
