What Dancers Say About Dance Unlimited

4.9/5 from 83 Google reviews.

There is so much that I could say about the wonderful folks at Dance Unlimited. From the beginning of your time here; you will feel warmly welcomed into the DU family. My daughter absolutely loves coming to dancing, and gets so excited to see her teacher (and Izzy who she idolises) and friends every week. Whenever she has been shy or sad, she’s been well looked after and comes out beaming. The new studio is absolutely amazing as well, so much space for classes, a play corner for the little ones and coffee for the grown ups. If you’re looking for the best dance school in Sheffield, in my opinio— Emily Clark

My daughter started ballet 2.5 years ago and started tap a year later. Dance Unlimited have fulfilled her dream of being a pretty ballerina. The staff are lovely and brilliant at encouraging all children to get involved and have the best time. From the Angelina Ballerina visits each term to the parent viewing sessions each term to the fantastic productions, there is something for everyone. My younger daughter is looking forward to starting ballet later in the year. Dance Unlimited also provide birthday parties which we have used and I would definitely recommend them. Thank you DU for creating — rebecca marples

Excellent! My daughter has been dancing at Dance Unlimited since she was 3. She enjoys it so much her little sister also wanted to go and has also been there since she was 3. The children really enjoy learning to dance in a fun friendly atmosphere that is relaxed and in no way competitive. Miss Becky and her team are really friendly and helpful. They really connect with the kids and can bring the most timid of children out of their shells. Lots of opportunities for the children to shine during shows, and parent watching weeks every term. We tried a few dance schools before we made a decision— Sarah Wood

My daughter has been been dancing here for over 4 years and she loves it. The teachers are great, patient, experienced and fun, and she has made some wonderful friends. I was concerned that it would be really strict, especially for my then 3 year old but it's a really fun place to be, we don't feel pressured, things aren't unnecessarily formal but the standard of teaching and therefore dancing is very high. From a practical perspective, things are really flexible and it's easy to swap classes if we miss one. Parents get the opportunity to watch the classes regularly and the shows and increasin— Katy Hinton
