When it comes to choosing a dancing school, you want to be sure you're making the right choice for your child. It needs to be a fun of course, which helps encourage a life-long love of dance, but at the same time you want to be sure you're getting quality tuition for your money in sensibly sized dance classes where technique can be nurtured.
And if you're going to invest in dancing exams, you want them to count. That's why SK Dance Studio Wigan offers examinations from the ISTD, a world-renowned exam board that's recognised by the Department for Education. We also have a fully equipped dance studio with professional-quality sprung dance floor to help prevent injury, as well as fully height adjustable ballet barres.

SK Dance Studio's main dance space has a beautiful professional-grade sprung dance floor - it's a sheer joy to dance on! Our dance floor is designed to absorb shock and therefore help to protect precious joints and bones from injury. This is particularly important when jumping and leaping, or when performing repetitive moves like in tap dancing for example.
Through a combination of our main school show, smaller events and professional shows on big theatre stages, there's plenty of opportunities for all our dancers to shine on stage. Dancing on stage is an important part of what we do at SK Dance Studio, so as well as developing the technical ability of our dancers, we devote plenty of class time to building performance skills.

When I moved to the area I wanted to take up dancing again. I was so pleased to find adult classes in tap and ballet at a later time in the evening. I love going to the classes everyone is so friendly and the content of the classes is great. There is always something to work towards such as shows or Tapathon and I have really enjoyed my year here.

Both of my children attended SK Dance Studio and loved every moment. I was really impressed bt the professionalism of the teaching staff, especially in the ballet classes. The level of support and guidance my daughters received was second to none and I'm very proud that my eldest has gone on to study Performance Art at university.

My daughter has danced with Susan for 10 years and I have seen her grow from a cute little girl standing on stage at the Palace, Manchester to a graceful dancer who has just completed her Grade 5 ballet exam and Silver tap. Susan and her assistant teachers always put the girls first and help them achieve their full potential. The shows are always stunningly professional and its great to see a dance school where the teacher doesn't come on the stage to help the youngest members - they do it all by themselves and love every minute of it, which goes to prove how well they are taught. My daughter has

I took my daughter (Paige) to the SK dance studio when she was just 2 years old, after it being recommended to me by a friend. We went along on that first Saturday morning not knowing what to expect. When we arrived we were made to feel extremely welcome by Susan, and my daughter settled in straight away. She soon made lots of new friends and quickly began to learn the dance routines. Over the years she has done many exams, which she has achieved great results, and this is down to the great tuition she has been given. She has also been in various shows including Susan's own productions and also

At the age of 3 I took my first dance steps at SK Dance Studio (formally Susan Kielb School of Dance) and dancing has been a big part of my life ever since. Being able to dress up in fabulous glitzy costumes and perform in theatres is a little girls dream and 26 years later I'm still part of it all.
SK Dance studio offers a wide range of classes from ballet to tap to street dance and hip hop and caters for all abilities and ages. With opportunities to take exams, medal tests and of course be part of a show, it gives you a sense of pride and achievement when you see the end result.

I have been a pupil at SK Dance Studio since the age of two. I learned and loved everything about it, and gradually became more and more immersed in the world of dance. The classes are thoroughly enjoyable and I have enjoyed every part of my experience from the exams, that have been a lot of hard work but in the end very rewarding, to the best part, the school shows. I have performed at many fantastic places with SK Dance over the years, such as the Liverpool Empire, Blackpool Opera house and my ultimate favourite being Disneyland Paris. I love every minute spent in the studio and I have many cherished

"For as long as I can remember I have always loved to dance. I was thrilled when I went to SK Dance aged 5 and started to learn all sorts of new styles. As we progressed up the school we took exams, had presentation evenings and performed in whole school shows. When I was 8 we performed The Tales of Beatrix Potter in a variety show called ‘Hits of Great Musicals’ at The Opera House Theatre, Blackpool Winter Gardens. It was a magical experience to perform on a huge stage in front of an enormous audience. I went on to perform with SK Dance at the Liverpool Empire, Manchester Palace and even at

Brilliant school with a great fun, learning attitude. Does not have the expenses that other schools normally push onto you. They try to keep the costs down on every aspect from class prices to costume prices, yet always provide top quality instruction and puts on a show that blows us all away! It is a very friendly atmosphere, all the children are friends and enjoy going every week. SK Dance is well known in the dance community and is always invited to take part in performances on big stages across the country. I would highly recommend SK Dance!
