What Dancers Say About NDC – Newcastle Dance Centre

4.6/5 from 24 Google reviews.

I started private dance lessons at NDC about 3 years ago to learn to dance for a Christmas party, l'm still going and have every intention of continuing. The staff that I have met are great and passionate about dancing, recently they showed that they were prepared to go the extra mile giving a bracelet and card to the pupils,which at this time was really appreciated by all of the pupils that I have heard from. There is a feeling of family throughout the school. I know that no matter how low or flat I feel after an hour dance lessons in the NDC will leave on a high. I do and have recommended ND— Derek Urwin

My daughter started dance classes with NDC last year and is absolutely loving it. She just performed in her first recital, her teachers were able to calm her from a panic attack and she danced beautifully.
