Established, professional, and inspiring, The Dance Factory Studios are the proud home of The Dance Factory School. Based in Desford, Leicestershire, our purpose-built studios provide an exceptional environment for dance and performing arts.
We offer a comprehensive timetable for both children and adults, led by experienced educators with over 18 years of expertise. With a strong focus on safety, innovation, and progression, our training spans a wide range of genres, including Ballet, Modern, and Stretch, forming the foundation for over 12 dance disciplines.
At The Dance Factory, we nurture more than technical ability. Our dancers develop creativity, confidence, and compassion—skills that extend beyond the studio. From Pre-School to Adult Dance by DF, we are one team, one school, one community.
Our faculty are fully qualified and accredited by leading organisations including the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD), International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA), Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT), Alixa Flexibility, and Acrobatic Arts.
We welcome dancers from age 2 within our core children’s school, and from 18+ in our adult programme, Adult Dance by DF.
