Dance classes in Sheffield for children, young people and adults
We offer a range of dance classes in Sheffield for all ages and abilities at our dance studios based at Shalesmoor near the centre of Sheffield and Kelham Island.
All tutors are qualified, insured, experts in the dance styles that they teach and are overseen by Paulina Chochulska, Hype’s Creative Director. Tutors have the creative freedom to bring their own personalities into their classes which allows them to work to the needs of the group, both physically and creatively, and allows our students to develop a well-rounded understanding of dance, having plenty of fun along the way too!
Dance styles taught include ballet, pointe, commercial street dance, contemporary dance, modern jazz, tap dance, acrobatics, choreography, breakdance, Bollywood, musical theatre, stretch & flexibility and more…
Drop-in dance classes
We offer weekly drop-in dance classes for adults of all skill levels and abilities. Drop-in means that you pay weekly, with no compulsory attendance. This gives you the freedom to come along to class whenever you can make it, and new starters can join in at any time.
Anyone can join these adult, drop-in dance classes at any time but ALL CLASSES MUST BE BOOKED AND PAID FOR IN ADVANCE. You can view our dance class timetables by following the link.
Participants ages cover a wide range, from 17 to people in their 50’s & 60’s, and everyone else in between! Classes cost £7.50 / £6.50 NUS – if you are a student, please send us details so that we can give you a discount code to use at checkout.
We have also teamed up with some amazing local dancers, groups and organisations who hire our space to run their own range of classes that compliment ours. You can see their classes listed on our dance timetable – please contact them for all details regarding their classes.
IDTA syllabus led dance classes for under 18’s
We are affiliated with the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) and we enter our students into exam sessions with them. We only schedule exams when we feel our students are ready so that they are completely prepared and can achieve the best results possible. Taking part in the exam sessions is optional, but it is encouraged so that students receive a marker of their progress and achievements.
We offer IDTA syllabus based dance classes in Ballet, Pointe, Modern Jazz, Tap & Acrobatics for Dance.
These IDTA based classes are charged per half term, with each term running in line with Sheffield school term times. We offer a 3 week trial period where you can pay weekly for these classes so that you can make sure the class is suitable before committing to a full terms payment. Please contact us if you would like your child to join our academy. We can then get the necessary details from you, and make sure that we suggest the most appropriate class / level for them.
Our under 18 classes cost £6.50 for 60 minute classes, £5.25 for 45 minute classes and £3.75 for 30 minute classes. New starters are welcome in our classes at any time but please get in touch with us first.

She has settled in quickly and has made friends in her grade that she talks to on the phone during the week. She is loving the style of dance and the way they get to do some choreography themselves, and it seems to be much more fast paced at Hype, instead of the same thing, dragging on for months on end, and always being Disney!
