Danceworx Garstang

Danceworx Garstang, previously known as Garstang School of Dance, is a busy dance school teaching children across a wide spread of styles. It caters for young dancers from toddlers upwards and offers a full programme of weekly classes. It is well suited to children who want to grow with dance over the years.

About Danceworx Garstang

The school has a real family feel, with parents describing how their children started as young as two and still love it into their teens, attending several classes a week. Reviewers speak warmly of the teachers, the variety on offer and watching their children's confidence grow, which points to a nurturing, close knit setting. It suits committed young dancers as much as those just starting for fun.

Classes & Dance Styles

Danceworx offers a broad programme covering ballet, modern, tap, commercial, acro and more, giving children the chance to try several styles or specialise in what they love. A typical class moves through a warm up, technique work and putting steps into routines, all at a level suited to the age group. Beyond weekly lessons, the school offers competitions, exams and shows, so dancers can take their skills further as they progress. The variety means younger pupils can find the style that suits them best.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

A child coming for the first time can expect a friendly welcome and a class pitched to their age and stage. Dress them in comfortable clothes they can move in and the shoes for their chosen style, or soft flat shoes to begin with. The teachers make new dancers feel part of the group quickly.

Entering competitions in the last year has been a new adventure and the confidence that I have seen in both of them has been something else.
Dance is their happy place. They have a dance family.

We absolutely love our dance family at Danceworx. Between me and my daughters we attend 9 classes a week from ballet, tap and modern to acro and commercial. The school offers opportunities to participate in competitions, exams and shows in addition to the weekly lessons with talented and caring teachers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you learn to dance without a partner?

Yes. The styles taught here, such as ballet, tap, modern and commercial, are all danced solo or in a group, so no partner is needed at any point.

What should I wear to a beginner dance class?

Comfortable clothes that allow free movement are ideal, along with the shoes for the style, such as ballet or tap shoes. For a first class, soft flat shoes are fine if you are not yet sure what is needed.

How much does a dance class usually cost?

Fees depend on the style and how many classes a week your child attends. Contact the school directly for current prices, as families taking several classes may be arranged differently.

Which dance is best for beginners?

Young beginners often start with ballet for its grounding in posture and control, or tap for its fun and rhythm. The school can suggest a good first style based on your child's age and interests.

What is the best dance to start as an adult?

This school focuses on teaching children, so an adult would be better served by a school offering adult classes. As a general guide, adults often enjoy starting with ballet, tap or a sociable partner style.

Is dancing good for heart failure?

Gentle dancing can be an enjoyable light activity, but anyone with a heart condition should consult their doctor before starting. Any exercise can then be kept at a safe, comfortable level.
