Anyone that wants to dance, we want to teach.

Teamwork
Our staff all work brilliantly as a team in order to give the best possible care and lessons to our students.
We promote teamwork to our students through a variety of exercises and activities during their lessons.
At Steel City Theatre Stars we lift each other up and grow together.
Personal Growth
We nurture self-confidence, self-belief and self expression. There are many things that create a great dancer, and here at Steel City Theatre Stars we balance the importance of technical skills with personal growth.
Safe Dance Practice
All our teachers are trained in safe dance practice, this includes ensuring that students are correctly warmed up before lessons; and that they cool down after to prevent injury. We promote a safe environment where students and staff feel safe both in and out of their lessons.
Fostering Creativity
We create an environment in which our students' imagination can flourish and thrive. We nurture individual expression through movement and artistry.
