Barbara Mann Dance Academy, Theatre School

General information

The school was established in 1981 in Bradford, our ethos is fun, fairness, consideration, respect, equality and discipline. We believe dance should be available to all regardless of environment, background, ethnicity or ability. Our fees are set so dance and performance is within everybody's reach with easy monthly payments.

We welcome all students who feel they can maintain our ethos, as we benefit from a family based environment. Although we strive to keep our ethos alive, we do still run classes with a disciplined element to ensure all students achieve their highest ability.

Classes are run evenings and weekends with a variety of lessons in dance and performing arts. We hold a main production every two years at one of Bradford's main theatres and we endeavor to hold an annual display and presentation enabling parent s and family to follow their child's progress. Examinations are taken through the B A T D association as and when the students are ready. We follow the B A T D syllabus and have had numerous successes with children being put forward for scholarships each year.
