Senior Modern Class
Established in Wigan over 60 years ago, The Buckley School of Dance has become highly respected with excellent exam results and considerable success in competitions at local and national level.

We constantly strive to maintain and improve these standards, resulting in a hard working school with great rewards!

The Buckley School of Dance provides professional and disciplined dance training in a fun, encouraging and friendly environment.

Classes are available for beginner to advanced level students, from 2 year olds to adults

We are able to provide affordable tuition, so that everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their dancing desire!

We have examination classes available to all children aged 3 and above, and all students who attend are given the chance to enter for BBO and UTD exams.

We also give our capable students the opportunity to compete in dance festivals around the North West, and we are the only school in the Wigan area to do this.

We love performing and hold a school show bi-annually, which has always been a huge success.

The School currently has approximately 80 pupils who are taught by qualified and dedicated teachers at our own studio in Woodhouse Lane, Wigan.

Our class sizes are small so every child can be given the individual attention they deserve thus progressing quickly.

The Buckley School of Dance is dedicated to bringing out the best in every child.

Whether the aim is to improve coordination, to gain confidence and grace, to learn the joy of movement or to train for a career in dance - every child is important.

Dance provides opportunities for children of all ages to experience the thrill of performance, the satisfaction of setting goals and achieving them, and to learn the discipline inherent in dance.

Dance creates friends and memories for life!

Every child learns at a different rate and we encourage them to apply themselves as best they can, work hard and be proud of what they have achieved.

We will never hold a child back if they are capable but similarly will not push them too hard and break their confidence.

We always aim to maintain our high standard............but we like to have plenty of fun too!

The school moved into our current studio on Woodhouse Lane around 14 years ago and it was then fully refurbished six years ago.

Having our own studio means we can provide students with the best possible learning environment, the safest dancing environment and somewhere for the students to call home.

We have excellent facilities for both the dancers and their families.

Dancers enjoy our professional studios, with full length mirrors, sprung timber flooring and fixed ballet barre's.

We also provide a girls and boys changing room and WC's.

Parents enjoy our comfortable waiting area and our kitchen with drinks and snacks.

For safety and security we have an intercom system to ensure we are aware of exactly who is in the building, and students can obtain their own electronic entry pass for convenience.
