Theater school in Manchester

“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!”

“Alison is very friendly and passionate in teaching, she is always energetic with big smiles to the children and parents. We are glad to see our daughter building up her confidence with facial expressions more confidently.”

“I attended the Monday acting class at mindful acting last week. I was extremely impressed by the whole class, from the teacher to the friendly, welcoming and supportive vibe. Unfortunately as I don't live in Manchester I can't attend every week, but I will definitely be back again and would recommend to all actors and aspiring actors. Thanks, Christopher Heyworth-Hill”

“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”

“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!”

“The experience was amazing for my daughter. What she learnt, the fun they had and the quality of production all within a week was amazing. Looking forward to the next one. The team organizing are professional and went above and beyond. Overall great experience.”

“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!”

“Always enjoy my classes at Act up North and feel I have learnt somthing new every time. Teachers are great and the effort they put into the showreals also are excellent.. Ive been with Act up North for over three years and intend to keep going. Safe fun place to be.. :)”

“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”

“2 of my children have attended Gwyneth Hare School of dancing, and both daughters adored going each week. They have undertaken extra lessons midweek as well as Saturdays due to pure enjoyment and dance dedication. They have always spoken fondly of their dancing and achieved a number of awards & certificates through exams. A wonderful dance school”

“I have two left feet but Sam the dance teacher has given me the confidence to stick at it, and she has the patience and encouragement to enjoy the dancing. ( even though I struggle which is my fault).”

“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.”

“My daughter and I went for open day and she has just recently auditioned. Lovely place, lovely atmosphere. I have messaged helpline a couple of times and the staff have been so patient polite and helpful, nothing was to much trouble. She has since been offered a place and I am so glad she is coming to you! Thank you”

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!

Thankyou to the MTA team for everything you have done for me!!!!!!”
