Mezzo Dance Company is a dance school best known for accessible, affordably priced tuition, with ballet featuring prominently among its classes. Reviews repeatedly praise the value it offers families, run by professional teachers to a high standard. It appears to prioritise keeping dance within reach for local children. Families watching the budget while wanting real teaching will find it appealing.
The mood that comes through is dedicated and community-spirited, with pupils practising keenly between sessions and parents defending the value on offer. It suits children who are genuinely enthusiastic and want to keep dancing regularly. The affordability makes it especially welcoming for families who might otherwise be priced out.
Ballet is a mainstay of the timetable, taught by professional staff to a standard the reviews rate highly. Beginners are eased into technique before progressing, and the low cost makes attending several classes a week realistic for keen pupils. As offerings and locations can vary, it is sensible to ask what styles beyond ballet are currently running and which age groups they suit.
A first class should feel welcoming and unintimidating, with the priority being to settle a newcomer in. Comfortable, stretchy clothing and soft ballet shoes are the usual starting kit, and staff will advise on anything further. There is no expectation of prior experience.
As location details are limited here, it is best to contact the school directly to confirm exactly where classes are held and how to reach them. Staff can point you to the nearest venue.
I really enjoy being there but it's expensive because my mom pays 20pound for 4 weeks of ballet and when i want to go my mom says no because she doesn't have the money I practice everyday and on the weekend I try stretch for splits but I'm struggling my best friend at school goes there and she comes to school saying when are you coming to mezzos and I say when my mom gets money. On the weekend I start from about lunchtime 12:00PM and I go up to 11:00 at night. I deeply want to go back and be on the competition team but that takes time , effort and money and I have effort and time but I don't — Its _Jess
My daughter has been dancing with mezzo for almost 2 years now and the prices for the classes have never been any where as high as what the previous lady stated they was maybe £16.50 for the month but never just one session my daughter does most of the classes suitable for her age and im happy with what i pay monthly for her i cant rate this dance school enough the dance teachers go above and beyond for all there dancers i would highly recommend mezzo dance company to anyone 😊— Liz Huband
Please do not let Mihaela Hornea's review (listed below) put you off Mezzo Dance Company. Lessons cost on average £5.50 each which is AMAZING value. What did she expect to pay? All lessons are run by the very best of PROFESSIONAL teachers to the HIGHEST OF STANDARDS. The students LOVE every minute. MDC is WORTH EVERY PENNY and I consider it money well spent! Come along and see for yourself. The first lesson is FREE, FREE, FREE!— Sarah Jervis-Hill
I’m not quite sure what the previous reviewer is talking about but it certainly isn’t this dance school…. my daughter has been part of this amazing team for most of her life, the standard of training and care given to each child is second to none…. and as for £16 that is absolute nonsense… there fees are the lowest I have seen in the area for the first class training received…. in fact your first trial class is fee….— Leanne Brookes
Yes, ballet and most class-based styles are danced individually, so you can join and progress without ever needing a partner.
Comfortable clothing you can stretch in plus soft ballet shoes is ideal. The school will confirm exact requirements when you enrol.
This school is noted for keeping costs low, but exact fees depend on the class and how you pay. Contact them for current rates.
Ballet is a strong first choice as it builds technique useful across all styles, and its steady pace suits newcomers.
Adults often begin with ballet for posture and control, though social styles are popular too. The best choice depends on what you enjoy; ask the school what suits.
Light dance may benefit general fitness, but anyone with heart failure should consult a doctor first and inform the teacher of any condition.
