Dance - Northern Theatre School

Dance at Northern Theatre

In the Dance department at Northern Theatre School we offer a variety of dance genres for children and adults to take part in. Students can enjoy Classical Ballet, Modern, Tap, Jazz and Street dance. We pride ourselves in the fact that we have highly trained, experienced, professional staff whose everyday aim is to nurture and develop young talent. We are very approachable and have your child’s best interests at the forefront of our classes.

The dance staff work not only to teach your child in the art of dance, but also to improve their communication skills as well as their social, interpersonal skills and their self- confidence and self- esteem.
Our staff keep abreast of new and developing teaching methodologies and resources in order to enhance your child’s enjoyment of dance and personal development.

The children have the opportunity to take exams following the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (I.S.T.D) syllabus in Ballet, Modern and Tap. All children our involved in our annual ‘Northern Explosion Show’ held at the Middleton Hall in Hull, and can also be entered for the numerous dance festivals held at various times in the year across the city.

As well as graded syllabus classes we offer street dance and adult leisure classes in ballet and tap. We are pleased to announce the addition of Liam Driscoll to out teaching staff, who will be taking our street dance classes as well as adult tap.

Private dance lessons are available for exam preparation, Festival entries and show performance, on request.
