About
Join us to have fun, fitness and
much much more
We are a dance school in Culcheth, Warrington. Northern Starr Dance and Fitness has been established for over 30 years, teaching currently over 200 pupils.
We believe every child has the ability to realise their potential, by providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere in which children can grow in both confidence and technique. Our dance classes include a variety of styles including modern, freestyle, Ballet, Jazz, lyrical and street/commercial. Combining a mixture of modern dance and music, with old style musical theatre, our emphasis always remains on enjoyment and fun. Classes are mainly held at our purpose built dance studio in Culcheth, with some classes at Ascend studio in Leigh.
Dance
Our dance classes in Culcheth cover a range of styles and disciplines including Lyrical, Jazz, Modern, Commercial and Freestyle.
Ballet, Lyrical & Contemporary
Our ballet classes are designed to ensure that every dancer has the technique they need to be the best dancer they can be. We also have contemporary and lyrical technique classes.
Chair Yoga
Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that’s done while seated or using a chair for balance, makes the practice more accessible. In chair yoga, it’s possible to move into poses like cat/cow, warrior, sun salutations and forward folds, all while seated. This practice helps with balance and increases strength.
Fitness Yoga
Freestyle fitness yoga is designed for all levels of fitness including beginners. We use yoga postures, stretches and balances and combine them with the fitness principles for strength, stability and increased flexibility.
ZUMBA
Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. Zumba routines incorporate interval training by alternating fast and slow rhythms to help improve cardiovascular fitness. The secret is that you are so busy having fun you barely even realise you’re exercising!
Adult Tap Classes
We have many more fitness classes still to come including our very own West End Wiggles which is a dance-based exercise class designed around our favourite West End musicals. We also have our specialised Full Body workout which targets each part of the body through cardio, strength and flexibility.
Dance Classes are in Culcheth and Leigh and are run through the I.D.T.A, with all members of staff being highly qualified and experienced; all teachers are fully DBS checked and insured. We hold dance examinations throughout the year, and currently maintain a 100% pass rate. Each year we put on a showcase at the Parr Hall in Warrington, where professionalism is paramount and our pupils get performance experience. Stage schools are offered during most school holidays, in which we blend dance and other theatre skills. Pupils get the chance to put on a show, developing confidence and broadening their abilities.
We have a competition squad made up of those members who want to take their training to the next level, taking extra classes with more of an emphasis on technique. Partaking in regular competitions nationwide with the opportunity to do solos, duets, trios and troupes.
We also teach adult fitness classes, with many dance based programmes such as Zumba, West End Wiggles and Tap which cater for all ages ranging from 15 to 90! We also provide full body workout sessions and Fitness Yoga and are really excited to offer one to one classes in Trapeze Fitness.
