Bates Stage Academy 51-57 Wellington Road North, Stockport SK4 1HW

"Bates Stage Academy is the best dance school to have spent 15 years growing up with. I have made the most amazing memories and the best of friends. It has been a second home where I have been supported and comfortable to be myself. I will be forever grateful to BSA for the experiences that have helped me become the person I am today."

"I danced at Bates for around 8 years and couldn't be more grateful for everything I learnt and experienced there. Not only is it an excellent school with fantastic experienced teachers, Bates has a friendly and supportive culture and is like a second family to any of their students. The school offers endless opportunities, from exams and taking part in national competitions to summer shows and pantomimes. I made some of my best childhood memories there and have Miss Julie and Miss Hayley to thank for everything. Couldn't recommend more to anyone seeking a dance school!"

"I started at Bates as soon as a turned 3 and I can’t recommend the dance school enough. Bates became a second home to me, like it does all the girls and the teachers can’t do enough for you. The quality of the dance shows every year are amazing and the opportunities Miss Julie provides for all the children are amazing. Bates won’t only provide you with amazing dance lessons but friends who become family too."

"I have been a member of Bates Stage Academy for almost 19 years now; it has become my second home and I have made friends for life! BSA has given me so many amazing opportunities and helped to develop my confidence through performance. I have so many memories throughout my years at BSA and I can't imagine what I would have done without dancing here. It has given me much more than just dancing - it has given me life skills too. I cannot recommend this dance school enough!"

"I spent the happiest years of my life dancing for Bates Stage Academy. It has been a part of my family’s life going back to my Aunty who shares the same fond memories I do. It taught me resilience, discipline and how to present myself professionally. The shows and pantomimes are second to none and have family at the core of everything that they do. I could never recommend this dance school enough for anyone looking for a second home which will be there for you through the good and the bad!! I wish Bates Stage Academy all the best always and will continue to support them in any way I can."
