SK Dance Studio Wigan (Susan Kielb School of Dance) 1 Gathurst Lane, Shevington, Wigan WN6 8HA

"I took my daughter (Paige) to the SK dance studio when she was just 2 years old, after it being recommended to me by a friend. We went along on that first Saturday morning not knowing what to expect. When we arrived we were made to feel extremely welcome by Susan, and my daughter settled in straight away. She soon made lots of new friends and quickly began to learn the dance routines. Over the years she has done many exams, which she has achieved great results, and this is down to the great tuition she has been given. She has also been in various shows including Susan's own productions and also at Blackpool Opera House, Liverpool Empire and Euro Disney. I have sat back and watched my little girl grow in ability and confidence over the years, and her love of dance continues still at the age of 19. Although away at university, she still returns to the SK dance studio when she's home as it has been a huge part of her life and the people there are like an extended family to her. SK dance studio not only provides first class dance tuition but also provides an opportunity for parents to get involved behind the scenes and to make new friends."

"At the age of 3 I took my first dance steps at SK Dance Studio (formally Susan Kielb School of Dance) and dancing has been a big part of my life ever since. Being able to dress up in fabulous glitzy costumes and perform in theatres is a little girls dream and 26 years later I'm still part of it all. SK Dance studio offers a wide range of classes from ballet to tap to street dance and hip hop and caters for all abilities and ages. With opportunities to take exams, medal tests and of course be part of a show, it gives you a sense of pride and achievement when you see the end result. Always a warm welcome and very friendly atmosphere, SK Dance Studio provides you with dance experience you will treasure and remember from the minute you walk through the door."

"My daughter has danced with Susan for 10 years and I have seen her grow from a cute little girl standing on stage at the Palace, Manchester to a graceful dancer who has just completed her Grade 5 ballet exam and Silver tap. Susan and her assistant teachers always put the girls first and help them achieve their full potential. The shows are always stunningly professional and its great to see a dance school where the teacher doesn't come on the stage to help the youngest members - they do it all by themselves and love every minute of it, which goes to prove how well they are taught. My daughter has enjoyed her time so much with Susan that she too wants to pursue a career as a dance teacher. This is very much a family run school and you can be sure of a warm welcome."

"I have been a pupil at SK Dance Studio since the age of two. I learned and loved everything about it, and gradually became more and more immersed in the world of dance. The classes are thoroughly enjoyable and I have enjoyed every part of my experience from the exams, that have been a lot of hard work but in the end very rewarding, to the best part, the school shows. I have performed at many fantastic places with SK Dance over the years, such as the Liverpool Empire, Blackpool Opera house and my ultimate favourite being Disneyland Paris. I love every minute spent in the studio and I have many cherished memories of the school from the past 17 years. Susan has shown me the magic of performing and that with passion and practice you can achieve anything you set out to do. Her influence on my life has been irreplaceable, and I can't thank her and the rest of the team enough for what they have done for me, they have been like a second family!"

"Brilliant school with a great fun, learning attitude. Does not have the expenses that other schools normally push onto you. They try to keep the costs down on every aspect from class prices to costume prices, yet always provide top quality instruction and puts on a show that blows us all away! It is a very friendly atmosphere, all the children are friends and enjoy going every week. SK Dance is well known in the dance community and is always invited to take part in performances on big stages across the country. I would highly recommend SK Dance!"
