Ecco was founded in 1992 by Amanda Horne. It began in a church hall in Ecclesfield with dance classes in ballet, tap and freestyle. Ecco moved to the Burton Street Project in 1995 and quickly expanded running dance classes every day. In 2012 we moved to our own premises at The Nichols Building, Shalesmoor.
It felt like home from the very first day! Over the years Ecco has trained many Freestyle, Slow, Rock n Roll and Street Dance champions and had students nominated for IDTA Freestyle Scholarships. We have had many children successfully audition to perform in professional productions at the Lyceum, Crucible and other local theatres in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Chesterfield.

Services
Ecco's mission is to offer high-quality performing arts lessons at an affordable price for all. We aim to encourage children in the art form they chose to do, helping pupils with their self-confidence and self-esteem. 4. To support children with their ambitions in performance, providing opportunities to perform and be entered for examinations and competitions.
Ecco Theatre Arts offers classes and individual tuition to people of all ages and abilities. We specialise in classes for children, young people and adults who wish to learn something new or build on their existing skill-set in singing, dance and drama. Students can start with us as young as 2 years old.
We offer 2-hour sessions covering dancing, singing, acting and audition skills. Alongside performance, we also look at the technical side of theatre. During our performing arts shows some of our older children get to put these skills into practice by helping with the lighting and music. Performing Arts can assist young people in finding confidence in presenting themselves to the world in whatever career they choose to pursue.
Ecco has been doing ADFP freestyle competitions for many years now and has trained many freestyle, slow, street and rock n roll dance champions. At least one Sunday a month we travel to a competition in the Yorkshire area where the children compete in fast solo, slow solo, pairs, team, rock n roll and street dance.
