About Our Dance School
Striving to be the best dance school in Edinburgh
About Our Dance School
DN Dance strives to be one of the top dance schools in Edinburgh. We have branches across Edinburgh, including Chesser, Leith, Crewe Road, Kirkliston and Winchburgh. We provide outstanding technical training in a fun and friendly environment and we’re proud to be known as an inclusive and welcoming dance school.
We were founded in 2010 by professional dancer, Nicky Bleakley who runs the school alongside husband Lindsay. All the images we use are of our own students, teachers, classes and premises. So the best way to find out what we’re all about is to have a browse around the website and see for yourself.
Our Mission
To inspire, support, encourage, and challenge the next generation of performers to reach for the stars and achieve their goals.

We Believe
Excellent technical dance training
We pride ourselves in providing consistently high standards of technical dance training whilst bringing enjoyment, energy and fun to every class. We’re like one big family at DN Dance and we’re so proud of all our students and just love seeing how they grow and blossom over the years. We shine our DN Spotlight on one student each week to find out about their journey and experience being part of the #DNDanceFamily.

Professional dance teachers
Our team is like one big family of professional dancers and musical theatre performers who have turned our talents to teaching. Now we’re absolutely dedicated to passing on our experience to the next generation.
Everyone is welcome
Our dance family comes from every age, dance experience, capability and culture. Everyone is warmly welcomed at DN Dance.
We are proud to give equal opportunities to every student to perform in dance shows, take vocational dance exams, and even compete in dance competitions.
