Professional dance schools in Stockport

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“Amazing dance school. My son has attended for over 6 years. The teachers are incredible, it has a lovely atmosphere and they put on amazing shows at the theatre. Great school and amazing memories to be made. All types of dance to suit everybody, great confidence building. Would recommend”

“Brilliant theatre. The oldest little theatre in the UK. Excellent regular variety of shows very well acted. Good bar area. The seating is comfortable and tiered so that all seats give a good view. Parking available next door with a lovely helpful chap who deserves a mention. Some notable present and past honorary members such as Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Sybil Thorndike and locally born Dame Wendy Hillier.”

“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”

“Fantastic to see a group of very talented Ball Hall referees appointed to the GB Masters 2024 tournament. Great work developing a new generation of officials who showcased their abilities excellently, and have very bright futures ahead.”

“I go to line dancing with Karela and absolutely love it. Everyone is so friendly and we have lots of fun!”

“Brilliant ballet school. My 5 year old was made to feel very welcome and absolutely loves her class. Miss Emily is so good and patient with the kids. Saddleworth Ballet School was recommended to me by a friend and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.”

“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.”

“My daughter is 7 and has been going to the dance school for over a year and she loves it. She didn't know any one when she started Miss Dean and Miss Frost were both very welcoming as were the other students and now she has lots of dance friends. She has lots of fun while shes learning and really misses it in the school holidays. Its a lovely dance school with great teachers. Highly recommend”

“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!”

“My daughter loves coming to this class! The teacher is so fun and friendly.”

“For next fall doing a dance classes of ballroom & tap & line & My own movement with myself.”

“Great Performing Arts school based in Romiley. Adam and the guys are experienced professional actors who really get the most out of the kids.”

“My daughter has been dancing for EP Dance for three years now and she absolutely loves it. Elodie can often be inattentive and hyperactive during lessons, but Miss Emily and Miss Adele are so patient and wonderful with her. The children have recently completed some of their dance exams and Elodie got fantastic results, which is representative of how much time and effort is put in to help her progress. Elodie has taken part in four end of year performances since joining and I have chaperoned at each. These shows have been well run and absolutely brilliant. Overall, we love EP Dance and could not recommend Miss Emily and the team enough.”

“An absolutely amazing dance class. Very professional and my daughter has the best time ever! Fantastic shows as well”

“A lovely, friendly, family orientated location to learn classic and ballroom (and probably other) types of dance.”

“Both our girls attend dance here and absolutely love it. They have made great friends from all age groups and there is a real family feel to the school. So glad we picked this school.”

“I cannot recommend BSA enough! Since joining BSA 16 years ago, I am still a part of the family now. It is a dance school where confidence is built and friends are made for life. With amazing teachers and opportunities, it is no wonder I couldn’t wait to go back and join adult tap. If you’re thinking about sending your child to dance, there really is nowhere better than Bates Stage Academy!”

“Zero gravity has honestly changed my life in so many ways. I joined zero gravity just over a year a go with no confidence, no body strength and definitely a lot of extra weight. Since joining my confidence has improved dramatically, I have lost over 3 stone in weight and I still surprise myself every lesson with how much stronger I am. All the instructors are absolutely amazing! They fill you with so much confidence and are so helpful and encouraging. If there is anything you want to work on or improve on they are always there to help. They offer so many different types of workshops and classes from stretch to flow to handstands and believe me I have tried them all. My flexibility has progressed unbelievably since joining there stretch classes. There pole classes are so enjoyable and everyone is so encouraging of each other. It feels just like a family. They even offer private classes where you can choose areas to work on or help with progression. There is literally something for everyone! Absolutely love being a Gravity Girl!”

“Such a fabulous little hidden gem. A lovely theatre space and loved the show. So funny and a real good night out. Looking forward to seeing the next production.”

“A dance school that nurtures, promotes confidence and an inclusive approach giving all dancers the chance to build confidence, resilience and learn a whole new set of skills. Alana embraces every challenge and gives students a whole host of opportunities regardless of whether dance is a hobby or something more serious. Taking the school to regional competitions, hosting huge shows and continually building her own knowledge and skills to support the varying needs of the pupils - being a part of the school for almost 4 years, our daughter not only dances more days than not, but has an environment where she has built the best friendships and feels safe and secure to be exactly who she is without the difficulty of masking her emotions, needs and neurodiversity. Without a safe space with Alana, she wouldn’t be anywhere near as confident as she is today!”
