My 4 year old daughter started last week, when I initially enquired about her starting by email the response was fast and they were more than than happy to answer any questions I had, this dance school is very inclusive, not clicky and the staff are absolutely lovely with all of the children. I highly recommend

I can’t say enough good things about Freedom Dance studio! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth, respect, and genuine enthusiasm. The dance team are not only incredibly talented but also deeply committed to creating a supportive and empowering space for everyone, regardless of ability, background, or experience level.

What sets this studio apart is its focus on accessibility and inclusion. Every dancer is celebrated for who they are, and the environment encourages self-expression, confidence, and joy through movement. It’s clear that the staff truly care about each individual’s growth—not just as dancers, but as people.

Whether you’re a beginner or have danced for years, this is a place where you’ll feel seen, valued, and inspired. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dance community that’s both professional and heart-centered.

We’ve tried a few dance schools, but none come close to the energy and warmth of Freedom Dance Studios. The classes are structured yet fun, and the growth I’ve seen in my child’s confidence and coordination is amazing. Highly recommended!

What can i say other than an amazing place for your child to learn, grown and be themselves.
My daughter is autistic and has struggled for many years to build friendships, confidence and trust until she joined freedom, kirsty and the other teachers have brought a side out of my daughter i never knew we could find, she absolutely loves coming and each week is taking more classes on as she feels welcome, safe and part of something, also making new friends - something in which she struggles with - she looks forward to going each week. i cannot thank the entire team for all they do

I can't recommend this place highly enough.As a parent of a SEND child it's hard to find places where my daughter feels accepted and where I feel safe in the knowledge that her needs are being met.

From day one of joining freedom Dance she has been made to feel welcome, has been encouraged and helped to fit it.She loves the classes and the staff and can't wait for her next session.

Safety and security is of great concern in society today.Freedom have gone above and beyond in ensuring dancers are safe,from buzzer entry to direct parent hand over you can feel safe in the knowledge that your child is protected .Operating a fully transparent experience Feedom is by far the number 1 dance school for aspiring dancers.

Can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to join more classes and to see her grow in confidence in her dance. Thank you Freedom Dance

Freedom Dance Studios has been an amazing experience for my niece! She absolutely loves her dance classes and looks forward to them every week. The instructors are incredibly supportive, patient, and skilled. I've seen her confidence grow so much since she started here. The environment is fun, welcoming, and professional, and they do a great job of making every dancer feel like part of the family. Whether it's ballet, street, or any other style, the variety of classes keeps her excited and engaged. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to nurture a young dancer's passion

My niece has been at this dance school for many years now, they have been amazing with her through tough times. She has grown in confidence and also has developed lots of skills from this dance school and has now become a dance teacher herself.

Fantastic Dance school, with amazing teachers who not only teach dance but support social inclusion, Resilience and being part of a community and dance family. I have watched my daughter go from no dance training at all to now a teacher and a qualified professional dancer in her 6/7 years at this school. Thank you for everything you have done for her ❤️

I am one proud nan thanks to Freedom Dance Studios in Wallasey, Wirral! My 6-year-old granddaughter has been attending classes here, and she absolutely loves it. Every time I see her dance, I can't believe how much she's learned in such a short time. The teachers are fantastic—so patient, caring, and full of energy. They make every class so much fun, and you can see the joy on the kids' faces. It's such a warm and welcoming environment, and I know my granddaughter feels right at home there. Freedom Dance Studios has been a wonderful experience for her, and I couldn't be happier seeing her so passionate about dancing. Highly recommend this place for any young dancers!

As a grandad, I couldn’t be more thrilled with Freedom Dance Studios! My granddaughter absolutely loves it there. Every week, she looks forward to her dance classes with so much excitement. The instructors are so kind and supportive, making her feel confident and happy. I’ve seen such a positive change in her, not only in her dancing skills but also in her confidence and social skills. The studio has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, and everyone there genuinely cares about the kids. I’m so grateful we found Freedom Dance Studios – it’s truly a wonderful place for my granddaughter to learn and grow. Highly recommend!

Helping me get to where I am now in my professional training as a dancer and teacher. If it hadn't been for all the support over the last few years, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Absolutely brilliant dance school offering a wide range of classes, regular teachers and guess choreographers. Freedom really do look after the dancers and my child has so much fun there, whilst being supported and challenged to progress in her dance. It's a really lovely, supportive and kind atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Great dance school. A place that teaches children and adults how to dance in modern styles and techniques.
Everyone is treated equally. My daughter has grown in stature and confidence since joining in 2021.
Would definitely recommend.
