Tracey Austin has built The Dance Factory into the go-to dance school in Morecambe and Heysham over the last 28 years. This isn't just any dance school – it's a launchpad for future pros in the entertainment industry.
The Dance Factory offers classes for all ages. It all starts with the Tiny Tot class for pre-schoolers. As dancers grow, so do their options – from Ballet and Tap to Modern-Jazz, Theatrecraft, Freestyle, and Gymnastics, there's something for everyone.
The facilities are top-notch. Tracey has ensured the studio is fully equipped with central heating, stereo systems, tiered ballet barres, mirrors, and changing rooms – everything a dancer needs to excel.
The Dance Factory closely follows the International Dance Teachers' Association (IDTA) syllabus. This ensures students work towards internationally recognised dance qualifications approved by the Department of Education and Employment. Regular weekend exam sessions assess students' progress and award these crucial qualifications.
Every two years, the ShowTime performance is a major event. Held at local theatres, it gives students a real stage to shine on, showcasing their hard-earned skills. Participation is strongly encouraged, making it a thrilling experience for everyone involved.
Past performances at venues like The Grand Theatre in Lancaster and The Dome in Morecambe highlight the school's calibre. These shows mark important milestones and celebrate the students' and teachers' hard work.
The highly qualified teaching staff at The Dance Factory are committed to guiding each student toward their dance goals. With their expertise and dedication, students have the best chance to succeed.
