Dance in Leicester

Leicester has a proper spread of dance classes, and most of them sit close to the centre. Dupont Dance Stage School takes children from age 3 to 18, working towards exams and festival performances. Just up the road, Etoile Performance Academy starts even younger, from age 2, and has an in-house agency to help older students prepare for auditions, with somewhere to sit and toilets on site while you wait. A bit further out, Dance Central runs everything from baby ballet to competition squads, with adult classes alongside if you fancy joining in yourself. If you have a toddler, Etoile or Dance Central are the ones to look at first, since both start from age 2. For older children with exams or festivals in mind, Dupont is built around that path. Thinking about auditions down the line, Etoile's agency link is worth knowing about early. And if you want to dance too, Dance Central is the one that keeps a spot for grown-ups.
