Our parents know that high aspirations, inspirational teaching and a caring and supportive environment is the perfect combination for a dance school, and enjoy being part of the NDC “family”.


When my son was 2 he started ballet lessons with NDC after I saw an advert in the supermarket. He has not stopped dancing and still loves it, aged 16! His lessons now also include tap, modern and musical theatre. Through NDC he has performed on many stages, benefited from excellent summer schools, passed dance exams, made firm friends and most importantly, had a lot of fun. NDC is like a big family. It has a very welcoming and inclusive ethos. The teachers are experts in their fields and ensure that each child reaches their full potential, and they take great care to make sure that everyone is celebrated. I know how lucky my son is to be part of NDC and I wish every child could have the same opportunity.
The staff at Northern Dance Centre are wonderful, they have helped Evie to thrive in her Ballet and have encouraged her to try new styles of dance which she has also grown to love. Even through Lockdown, NDC worked hard to deliver high quality dance lessons over zoom, which not only helped keep her active but helped immensely with her mental health. I cannot recommend NDC enough! Thank you for everything you do for Evie. Keep up the fantastic work.
Our girls love NDC. It is not only a great place to dance, try new things and be inspired by amazing teachers but it also has become such an important part of their lives socially. NDC feels like one big supportive family. It has helped them blossom into confident young people. It provides a real focus to their energies, always challenges yet supports them. The joy they have when dancing is obvious. The friendships they have made solid.
My daughters have been part of Northern Dance Centre for almost a decade now. They absolutely love it there and look forward to their lessons every week. My eldest daughter had tried various dance schools in the area but had never really felt like she belonged to any of them until she tried NDC. The teachers are always so supportive and enthusiastic. The main ethos of the school is to thoroughly enjoy dance, whatever your ability. Dancers are nurtured there from pre school age right through until university age. My daughter have both made so many friends there. There is so much on offer at NDC: exams, shows, local performances, trips, summer school, fun competitions, different dance styles. The shows are incredible to watch and great fun to be part of. The principal of the school has gone above and beyond to support our family. We really can’t recommend NDC highly enough.
NDC has a wonderfully nurturing and friendly environment which is evident from the very first time you step through the door.We chose to send our children to NDC as the principal and teachers made a great effort to make them feel so welcome and at ease from the moment they did their first trial class.The school instill a love of dance and performing in the children from a very young age with teachers having a great balance of technical expertise and creativity.
All students are encouraged to develop to their full potential , whether they attend classes purely for enjoyment or if they want to follow dance as a career. The teachers help develop and progress students to a really high standard right through to advanced grade exams and even onto further vocational training.
The school dance shows are always of an extremely high standard and enjoyed by all the children and parents alike , with amazing choreography, costumes and music and a huge amount of effort goes into every aspect of the performance. My children have danced with the school for many years and feel that they are part of a big extended dance family where they have made friends for life.
We have been lucky enough to be a part of NDC for the past 14 years with our daughter and son. It has been such a part of their upbringing that our daughter considers NDC to be her other family.Over the years they have had opportunities to try many styles of dance and in a whole variety of settings, including Disneyland Paris and the Alhambra Bradford.
They have been involved in exams, shows, Christmas lights switch on, Move it London, BBC TV, Eisteddfod and had a lot of fun along the way.Summer school is a highlight each year with guest teachers and the end of week showcase which is always magic. In fact NDC is magic because Miss Amy (Principal) makes it that way. She gives everyone the chance to shine!
