Why come to Shockout

I can't explain how much Shockout Arts prepares you for the dance industry. I've now gone on to work and done things such as XFactor, Janet Jackson, Stormzy.

Shockout changed my whole perception of dance in a way that helped me tackle and focus on each important aspect of being a professional commercial, working dancer

I'm so appreciative of my training at Shockout Arts and really feel like we have had individual care and attention when it comes to our progress as individuals.

At Shockout we continue to pave the way for aspiring dancers to train in the North West.

Our artistic flair, stylistic approach truly sets our dancers, ‘A Step Above the Rest’.

Shockout is the platform in which we nurture young aspiring talent
