Looking for dance classes in Eccleston/St Helens? You’re in the right place. All you need is a passion for dance and music and we’ll do the rest. Enjoy weekly classes filled with fun, inclusivity, and a commitment to safety. Join us for additional events throughout the year – from trips and holiday clubs, to exam sessions and the highlight of our dancing year – our annual show – in partnership with the St Helens Theatre Royal.
Some of our best childhood memories involve dance. Whether attending class each week, creating routines in the garden with friends, or showing certificates in school assembly, we caught the dancing bug from an early age.
Our job now? It’s passing on similar precious memories. Whether you’re a tiny tot just starting your dance journey or an adult taking some much-needed ‘you’ time once the kids are in bed, we provide a fun, safe space to enjoy a love of dance and movement to music.
We’re lucky to have a wonderful team of teachers, all super-passionate about dance.
