Discover your next rehearsal space without any fuss. Manchester offers a range of studios in the centre of the city, there is a number within walking distance of Hilton Street, not too far from Piccadilly Gardens. South of Gay Village, you will find quite a few more with an easy reach of the Oxford Road and Piccadilly train station. Other popular choices for dance, particularly ballet, are located in the suburbs of Denton and Gorton.

When choosing a dance studio, it is best to start by making sure the studio you choose offers the most essential basics. Make sure that the floor covering is slip-resistant and suitable for high-energy activities. Check with the studio and find out which kind of sound system they use. Whether you need Bluetooth or a plugin for your soundtrack, knowing ahead of time will save you headaches later. Also, do you need your dance studio to have mirrors? Floor to length mirrors and a barre are standard equipment for these types of spaces. However, you should always confirm with the studio that these are available. If you are running a group activity such as a performance, class or rehearsal, you might want to hire a studio that includes parking.
