Northamptonshire School of Dance

My daughter has danced with the School since she was three years old. She absolutely loves attending each class and her dancing skills and discipline have really developed. The teachers and staff are very caring and friendly and strive to help the students do their best. The shows and performances they put on are to a really high standard.

I’ve been taking my granddaughter to NSD since she was three years old and she’s now nearly eight. Not once in all that time has she ever said she didn’t want to go. She loves the kind and friendly approach of the teachers and thoroughly enjoys her lessons. She was so proud to be in the recent Alice in Wonderland show which demonstrated the phenomenal dedication and skill of all the team at NSD. Thoroughly recommended.

I have only been attending the school for a few months but I have had a lovely experience so far. I hadn’t done ballet for many years and Miss Hayley and Natalie were both very welcoming. The adult ballet classes really are suitable for all abilities and I love that Miss Hayley also teaches the correct language and terminology for everything.

A wonderful dance school, they make you feel as though your kids are the only ones attending - hugely welcoming and excellent communication. My kids have been enrolled since age 3 and the impact on their development has been huge. Cannot recommend enough.

An excellent dance school for children and teenagers, especially for ballet, but also with classes available in tap, street and contemporary dance.The school's manager, Natalie, is incredibly passionate about what she does and that shows in the standard of teaching as well as the general management of the school.

Both my daughters do ballet classes at NSD and they both love it. All the teachers are really lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the school.

Northamptonshire School of Dance welcomes everyone, regardless of age and ability and encourages all students. My daughter has danced with Natalie from the age of 3yrs and still returns for lessons in ballet and Pilates, when she's home from university. Moving to the beautiful studios in Naseby was fantastic, and the teachers have a fabulous space to teach syllabus and choreograph some amazing dances.

Our daughter has been with the school since 2013 mainly taking ballet classes (although there's so many more classes available - contemporary, tap, street & musical theatre). She has had the most incredible time and ballet is her favourite activity. The teachers are lovely, the teaching is at such a high level and reflected in the grades the students achieve and yet it is in an extremely welcoming, inclusive and fun atmosphere. RAD grades up to 8 are taught as well as classes for vocational exams to Advanced 2. There are lots of opportunities to perform publicly including at Festivals and in the School shows; three main ones (and numerous small shows) during my daughter's time. Support is also given for auditions for any Junior Associate programmes e.g. with the Royal Ballet. I can't complement the School and their staff enough for the ballet journey my daughter has been on (and continues). It wouldn't have been possible without their wonderful teaching, help and support.

I started dancing here over 16 years ago, when it was East Haddon School of Dance and I have never stopped dancing since. The teachers are all amazing and so caring, they support you with everything and help you achieve your dreams. NSD offers different ranges of dance styles, all with lovely teachers. The studios are so welcoming and it makes dancing there so much more exciting. I absolutely love this dance school - thank you so much for helping to boost my confidence and encourage my love for dance. xxx

My daughter loves doing ballet here so much that I thought I’d best give the adult class a go too! We love the variety of dance and classes on offer. The show was absolutely spectacular and a fantastic way of exhibiting all the great student and teacher talent that are involved!
