The 30 Best Dance school in Nottingham

“I had an incredible experience at NMS Fitness. Nicola, the owner, is the sweetest and always willing to help, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are lovely, and the positive vibes make it a great place to be. As a women-only space, it felt especially supportive. The hoop classes I attended were small, allowing for plenty of attention from the dedicated instructors. I joined for about six months at the end of my degree, and though my time was short, it was impactful. I made great friends, learned a lot in the beginner classes and workshops, and rediscovered my passion for exercise. NMS Fitness provided a supportive environment that helped me through a tough time. Thank you for the amazing community and positive impact on my life!”

“My daughter has been attending Tracy Quaife for over 8 years, she is so happy here and has learnt so much. Tracy is excellent with the children and very professional. The shows they put on are wonderful! This is an excellent dance school with lots of opportunities.”

“I started at Twisted Pole in December 2021 and have been taken part in a variety of classes and workshops the studio has to offer. All the instructors are lovely and create such a supportive and welcoming environment for anyone wishing to start pole, and have been so encouraging throughout my pole journey! Cannot recommend highly enough for anyone looking to start pole dancing!”

“If you are thinking of learning salsa or bachata Todo Latino dance Co is your place. Amanda and Nathan are the best and most knowledgeable people to learn salsa with. I enjoyed my salsa classes and am thinking of getting more classes. It's highly recommended. If you're driving there are plenty of on street parking available on streets around.”

“My daughter has been going to FSD dance academy for a few years and her confidence has grown so much, all of the dancers are fantastic and are all so supportive of each other! The shows they put on each year are amazing, the dancers work so hard and look like they have so much fun in the process! Fesa is a great teacher and gives all the kids a chance to shine bringing out their personalities and sass!”

“My daughter has been doing ballet at this dance school for the past year and her confidence has grown so much. Really appreciate the support and expertise that the teachers have provided. My daughter has just done her first ballet exam and loved it! Such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere as well which really helped my daughter.”

“I have been dancing with dynamicmotif for 10 years now! I will always recommend this dance company as it has made me such a positive dancer! Not only do you learn dance you meet new people and learn new skills you never knew you had along the way. You get to preform in shows and go on all sorts of fun trips. The dances you learn can also help you with skills later in in life!I love attending dynamicmotif and learning dances.”

“Our daughter joined Notts Hot Shots in January. For years, she refused to join any clubs because she had little confidence in herself. She started with Cheer for Fun and loved it so much that she’s now joined both dance classes too—and even put her name down for squad tryouts! She comes home from every session absolutely glowing, saying how amazing it is and how much she loves the coaches. We’re so grateful to see her thriving and growing in confidence every week!”

“Couldn’t recommend Dance Fusion enough! I attend the advanced adult tap class and find that it is exactly the right level of challenge for me, having danced throughout my childhood and teen years - accessible for my level of ability, challenging enough to keep my brain working - a great way to switch off from everything else. I have met new people, found a fun way to keep fit and grown in confidence. All of the teachers at DF are skilled, talented and supportive.”

“My daughter has been part of Affinity for over 3 years and continues to love dancing here. There is so much care & attention, passion and effort from all of the Affinity team - it truly is a great dance school. Thank you for all that you do!”

“My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time at this dance school. She has been to other dance schools, but this stands out for me and my daughter in more ways than one. The staff are so friendly, knowledgable and very approachable. They know when to push, but in the best way and when to make it fun. This I feel has bought the best out in my daughter. She loves to go to dance class, learn new skills, compete in dance shows and meet new friends.”

“The Dance Studios is an amazing dance school for all ages! We’ve been part of the TDS family for about 7 years and my daughter has loved every minute of it. The dance teachers are so dedicated and encourage a love of dance regardless of ability. Everyone has the opportunity to perform either in dance shows or competitively in dance festivals as well as the opportunity to achieve dance qualifications through graded exams. The children make strong friendships, bonded by the love of dance and parents make friendships too! It can be daunting to start anything new but from the moment we arrived, both my daughter and myself, we have been warmly welcomed and included. I can’t recommend The Dance Studios enough, my daughter has flourished in all areas in and outside of dance, I know that we have TDS to thank for her new found confidence.”

“Great place to learn dance. Good floor and bar. A bit old style especially chairs and toilet. Very, very hot. Fans are giving so much wind and not cooling. However so much better than our place before!”

“Just want to say my daughter startered dance with summers In Time 7th may and to this day come out with 2 trophies I am so proud of her and thta is all thanks to Sarah and her team, my daughter ariana was soo shy and now she is coming out her shell with confidence love this and I love this dance school thank you soo much for making this happen xxx”

“My girls joined this dance school four years ago doing one class a week, my eldest is now there three times a week and would be more if I let her! They don't just teach dance, they help with confidence, communication skills and allows the girls to be part of a little dance family. Both myself and the girls have made great friends at Studio 96 and I wouldn't send them anywhere else!”

“I had a virtual dance party with Jo for my virtual hen do. It was such an amazing and fun experience. Could feel Jo’s positive energy even through the screen, making our event very special and memorable. Even those ladies who were a bit sceptical about having party online absolutely loved it and said that dance party was the best part. Moves were easy to follow, and we also had short breaks filled with fun quizzes and laughter. Highly recommend.”

“Great studio, my daughter loves coming here :)”

“Took my niece here for a 1st dance lesson as she had wanted to learn for a while,she had a fantastic time,instructors were brilliant teachers,took the time to teach and were patient!great rates too!my niece can't wait to go back for her next lesson cannot recommend enough!”

“Fabulous dance school and kind and caring teachers. Kept zooming all the way through lockdown and kept all pupils motivated. My daughter has been dancing here for 8 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“We went to see our niece dancing in Planet Rock, and the whole show was incredible! The costumes were absolutely amazing & the dancing was outstanding. We thought that, for some of the students, dancing in front of a big crowd must be very daunting, but they all performed beautifully. It made me wish I was a ballerina!”

“Lovely dance school, friendly and welcoming. My daughter was late to dance but has been really well supported and loves her classes. The playhouse show was fabulous.”

“I can’t recommend this school highly enough! It’s a safe space for children to nurture their independence, build their confidence and find their own personality- they learn about team work and become part of a second family who take care of each other; they form life long friendships and learn good sportsmanship; they learn how to succeed with grace and turn mistakes in to opportunities to learn from, in order to be their best self. And as parents we get to stand back (and if you’re anything like me - ball your eyes out with pride) and watch something amazing happen. My daughter started dancing when she was still in nappies and before she could string a proper sentence together, but she was terrified of performing in front of people for years. We never forced her to dance, it was something she loved to do and chose to do, just in the safety of her dance studio, where she thought no one was watching. You’d never believe it, to watch her now, she’s 10 and last year won the annual ‘show personality’ award for sass, commitment to the performance and letting her love for performing shine through at the annual show!! ❤️ If you’re even a bit curious- get in touch with Leah. I promise you’ll be in good hands!”

“Great teachers, great students! awesome dance family!”

“Highly recommend KS Dance! Our two daughters love attending their ballet, tap, modern, acro and musical theatre classes with Miss Kristy and her team. It is great to see their technique and confidence improve over time in a supportive environment, enhanced by the opportunity to regularly perform in well-organised shows and dance festivals, all of which they thoroughly enjoy.”

“Our daughter has been doing grade 6 ballet here for almost a year now and she has learnt so much and really enjoyed the style of classes. She says that Ms Lesley is a very kind and passionate teacher who truly cares about all her students. Thanks, Claire and Richard”

“Brilliant staff, with great patience. Highly recommended 5*s”

“Wonderful teachers formed the best childhood memories.”
