Why us
Why families choose the dance studio
Parents want freestyle that feels friendly from day one and serious when their dancer is ready. That is exactly what we built in Barton-le-Clay.

My daughter is new to The Dance Studio but already she cannot stop dancing and talking about you all. What an amazing family team you have! I look forward to watching Katie grow as a dancer.

After only a few weeks with the dance studio, my little girl is so happy with her new class, and literally counts down the sleeps until her next lesson! She feels so welcome and right at home thanks to the great teaching and kindness of Karen and Margaret.

My 5 year old daughter is a newbie to dancing but absolutely loves the classes she's had so far and the amazing teachers that have made her feel so welcome.

Such a great dance company to be part of. My two little girls go to classes twice a week and have the best time. It's so lovely to see their improvement over the last year. Karen is so warm, welcoming and encouraging. We look forward to being with The Dance Studio for many years to come.
