Active Dance has been established since April 2006 and now run three studios across Bury, offering a wide range of classes for children and young people to get involved in.
Active Dance are the studios that everyone is talking about, giving dancers of all ages and abilities a fantastic opportunity to develop their skills and get active!
Active Dance aim to encourage active lifestyles, providing a fun, vibrant and safe environment for children and young people to explore their creativity.

About Active Dance
Active Dance was first established in April 2006 by Nicola Gaskell, Hayley Winnington and Laura Moore, with the aim of providing a safe environment for children to learn dance. Following huge success with their classes, the need for a permanent base soon became apparent and the three friends opened state of the art studios in Elton.
Nicola, Laura and Hayley then expanded the business, opening additional studio in Radcliffe and then Heywood. The addition of new studios has allowed Active Dance to offer one of the most diverse range of dance classes available in Bury, with everything from cheerleading to drama.
Active Dance have built on this success and now have nearly 1000 pupils attending classes each week, ranging from two years old right up to adults. Hayley, Nicola and Laura first established Active Dance with the belief that everyone is equal, an ethos that is still very much at the heart of their business now.
