About
Who are Dance Crazy Studios
Over the years, Dance Crazy Studios has built up a reputation as one of the UK’s largest and most successful dance schools. It all began in 2002 when Principal Joanne Crane set up a small, weekly class at a local community centre.
As it became apparent the school was growing in recognition and popularity, Joanne joined forces with Principal Abbie Neeson going from just one weekly class to several classes in different areas.
Our Aims
At Dance Crazy we feel it is so important that students learn much more than how to dance. We pride ourselves on ensuring we nurture skills that can be taken away and used in everyday life. From our baby movement classes to our adult classes, our aim is to build confidence, develop skills, promote sportsmanship and give all who attend Dance Crazy a sense of belonging.
We are also very passionate about meeting the needs of the individual to ensure maximum potential. All staff at Dance Crazy are trained to mindfully identify those who need extra support.
Classes can be enjoyed in a safe, encouraging and nurturing environment. For those wanting to progress to a competitive level, we also provide elite private tuition. For the last 7 consecutive years we have achieved as a school top teacher/school award within the U.K. So be assured of a first-class service and a very warm welcome at Dance Crazy.
