Services
A family ran business, since 1931, whose pupils and parents end up becoming part of our family. The Centre is now in the hands of the third generation of the family, along with a large team of dedicated and longstanding teachers, lead by our senior staff and passionate Principals, Michael, Mavis and Hayley.
Dance and fitness classes are also available in the form of Individual Tuition if you would prefer one to one teaching. Wedding Dance lessons are bookable with one of our expert teachers for you and your partner. We offer half hourly and hourly classes (depending on the age of the pupil) in Ballet, Tap, Modern Stage/Jazz, Ballroom, Latin American, Hip Hop/Street, Freestyle, Lyrical, Contemporary Dance and Performing Arts.
A fun adult dance exercise class designed to get your body moving without the stress of learning complicated routines! The Classsic form of dance where technique, control, balance, poise and suppleness are paramount. Ballet is foundation of all dance! Ballroom dance is a set of partner dances, which are enjoyed both socially and competitively around the world.
We offer groups, couples and individuals one-to-one instruction. This type of tuition enables the teacher to customise the lesson to the clients specific needs and to progress at their own speed. Sessions are tailor made to each client's requirements and can be in any dance style, wedding dance, vocal training or drama.
All our classes are conducted in a well structured yet relaxed atmosphere, where the children are allowed to express themselves while enjoying a set dance class. There is also the opportunity for pupils to take informal assessments with the NCDTA Examination Board and receive a certificate and 'Teddy' trophy.

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 NDC

Positive: Professionalism
My daughter has been attending NDC for 5 years, she absolutely loves it and is very proud to be part of the NDC family. The teaching is high quality and enjoyable. The children work towards professional exams and performances, providing purposeful and valuable skills and development. Most importantly, it's great fun.

Although long term pupils of NDC, my two daughters came to their first summer school last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. It sounds like it was the perfect mix of dancing, games, crafts and time to make friends and have fun. Just what they needed when they have been away from a school environment for so long. Thank you so much for all your hard work, they will definitely be back!

Been taking my daughter here since she was 4 years old and she absolutely loves it. Great teacher's and staff are all very friendly, had a new refurbishment of the coffee area which provides a good range of drinks and healthy snacks. We look forward to seeing her on the stage for the end of terms recital.
