Why dance with us

Good for body and mind

Dancing with Hype is good for body and mind. You’ll learn a new skill from friendly, professional teachers, build fitness, strength and coordination, grow in confidence, and make friends that extend well beyond the studio.

We’ve taught dance in Sheffield since 2004, and our syllabus classes for children follow the graded exams of the International Dance Teachers’ Association (opens in a new tab) (IDTA). We’re a non-profit, so every fee goes back into the school: our teachers, our studios and our work in the community.

Hype Dance is my family and my home. The team provide fantastic pre-vocational dance training in an environment that is positive, supportive and inclusive, and all the teachers encourage creativity and hard work. I’ll cherish my memories of Hype forever, and I’m privileged and honoured to be a patron.
