About EHDS Dance Studio

Our Story

EHDS Dance Studio was founded with one simple belief: that dance should be for everyone in Newcastle upon Tyne. We teach children from the age of three, teens finding their confidence, and adults who simply want to move, enjoy music and be part of something positive. Our instructors bring professional training and real enthusiasm to every class — the kind of teachers who remember every student's name and celebrate every small step forward.

Based in the Heart of Jesmond, Newcastle

Classes take place at Jesmond Pool & Gym, a well-equipped, accessible venue at the heart of the local community. We focus on technique, performance and — above all — enjoyment. Whether a child joins their first toddler ballet class or an adult takes their first street dance session, we make the experience straightforward, encouraging and fun. Come and see why families across Newcastle and the wider North East choose EHDS.
