Dance performance classes in Sheffield

“My daughter has been dancing in the Tutus and Taps class at Studio J for a couple of years now and she absolutely loves it! From her very first lesson Miss Jo made her feel so comfortable and she can't wait to go to dancing every week. We've just signed up to the acro class and she can't wait to start. I would highly recommend Studio J to anyone looking for dance classes.”

“I've been going to this studio for about 2 years now and having tried a lot (maybe 8?) I can easily say that OTG has been my favourite! And I liked the other studios! Every teacher has a unique skill set so you get a lot from trying out different classes e.g., Sarah is great at pinpointing what muscle you should be engaging and making your pole move portfolio well rounded, Gem is a detective when it comes to problem-solving a move you've been stuck on, Gemma offers a wealth of experience in choreo classes to improve your flow (I could go on...). They actively go out their way to make the studio inclusive and welcoming to all and are sx work positive. If you want pole to be more social then they hold 'open pole' nights, but if you prefer to keep yourself to yourself that's also respected. I also have to shout-out that as a 'nesh' person, they do the most to keep the studio warm in winter and they employ 'Daddy Cool' (the mega fan) to keep it cool in summer. Would recommend to anyone wanting to start or continue their pole dance journey!”

“I have been wanting to join a dance class for a while now as I have always loved and been interested in Dancing and wanted to do something for me being a Mummy. My sister in law told me about Velvet Burlesque and how much she enjoyed it but i still put it off for a good while as i wasn't confident enough to sign myself up for it, basically making excuses but I finally did and was so nervous when the day came but Lara instantly made me feel so welcome and relaxed as soon as i walked through the door, she kept checking up on me throughout to ensure I was ok. Lara is a really friendly and lovely person and her teaching and encouragement is the best...trust the process! I am so glad I made the decision to join, the atmosphere is fab and it's boosted my confidence, I love it and look forward to going every week.”

“Starting at Mission has been the best thing I have ever done! I have always struggled with my confidence and body image, but since starting pole (and now hoop as well), my confidence has grown unmeasurable amounts. Not only are the instructors amazing, but all the other students too, everyone makes you feel so welcome (as an anxious person when I first started, this made me feel so much more at ease), and every single person is there cheering you on and supporting you. I have met so many incredible people and made friends that I don’t know how I've ever lived without! I can’t describe how much love I have for Mission and it’s amazing community! It’s become my safe place, home away from home and a place that I feel I can be my full unapologetic self! It’s so true that you just become part of one big family ”

“The best dance school in Barnsley!Great teachers and such a lovely community.Would 100% recommend to parents wanting to send their children to a dance school”

“Great dance classes and teachers. Definitely recommend if your looking for a dance class for your children”

“Fabulous!! Booked for two hen do's and they could not have been more flexible, helpful and supportive. The classes were fab and I could not recommend them more highly! Thank you!”

“Excellent! My daughter has been dancing at Dance Unlimited since she was 3. She enjoys it so much her little sister also wanted to go and has also been there since she was 3. The children really enjoy learning to dance in a fun friendly atmosphere that is relaxed and in no way competitive. Miss Becky and her team are really friendly and helpful. They really connect with the kids and can bring the most timid of children out of their shells. Lots of opportunities for the children to shine during shows, and parent watching weeks every term. We tried a few dance schools before we made a decision and Dance Unlimited was by far the best!”

“I have used hype dance in a number of ways; classes, tuition and studio hire and it is great. The teachers are friendly and welcoming in classes and the choreography is always engaging. I have recently attended the choreo classes with Paulina. She has incredible musicality and she teaches choreo in a way that lets a mixture of abilities explore their own, to a really great selection of music. The classes are drop in style, but in all the ones I have attended I see the same faces again and again, which speaks for itself in terms of the community atmosphere!”

“Kickers is like a second family. The teachers are fantastic at bringing the best out of all the children. It teaches not just dancing but teamwork, commitment and kindness.”

“Both myself and my daughter dance at Wallace Dance Academy. The school has gone from strength to strength driven by their incredible teachers. It has a family ethos with each and every child being treated with care, understanding and empathy. The teachers are absolutely amazing and manage to get the best out of everyone. It caters for all ages and levels. I would thoroughly recommend the school to any parent who wants their child to experience dance to come and try it. Although their primary teaching is dance, it also helps children with their confidence, shows them how to work as a team and gain some life long friendships.”

“My girl absolutely loves her dance school, she’s made has learnt so much and come on in such little time. She gets so many opportunities like taking part in the school shows joining dance camps in the school holidays which miss Amy (principle) also organiser’s she absolutely loves competing in festivals.”

“My daughter attends this school for ballet and performance theatre and she loves it. The teachers are so welcoming and she did her 1st show with them and loved every minute of it. I would definitely recommend this school if your child loves to dance and perform. Thanks for welcoming me and my daughter xx”

“Monika choreograped our first dance for our wedding, we have private lessons at a very reasonable rate. We came with the song and worked with her to include moves that we wanted incorporated. She was calm and professional the entire time. She was very accommodating to our toddler being in the sessions and we have since been back to her toddler groups which are wonderful. To anyone the wants to learn to dance from a complete novice level or looking for a new skill this was a wonderful experience. Thanks Monika.”

“My girls have been coming here since they were 2 years old. This isn’t just a dance school, EPA is a family where the teachers love our children and everyone who attends looks after one another. They are learning what it means to love Dancing, to work hard, to lose, win and most of all support everyone around them. Be there for each other. Thank you for welcoming us into the EPA family and always being there ❤️”

“An all inclusive club with great events through the year, lovely volunteers and members”

“Brilliant Dance School! Its a big family with fantastic training!”

“My daughter has had the ability to try lots of different activities and find what really suits her. Miss Chloe creates a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment that the children seem to really thrive on”

“Have been having lessons with toly for two years and enjoyed every moment. In the beginning had two left feet but his patients and hard work has paid off and able to do waltz tango rumba quickstep cha cha cha jive and samba just a few more to learn. Would recommend everyone trying the classes.”

“My daughter has been attending Peak Performance since she was 4. She's now 9 and her confidence and dancing ability/skills have grown so much under the thoughtful and kind tuition of Jilly and the other teachers at the school. She's also made great friends and had so much fun! There is a great blend of shows/performances (with very exciting costumes!) and examinations. No pressure for either - both done in a way that motivates and encourages. Each Saturday morning there are the following classes: ballet, tap, modern, musical theatre and gymnastic dance - something for everyone. I can't recommend this school and its lovely staff enough!”
