We had hoped to commence renovations and a full review of the Technical Spec of the theatre itself over the winter period, with a view to reopening for productions in the late spring or summer. Unfortunately, with Manchester now in Tier 3, this work is now on hold and will need to be rescheduled.
For the time being, a decision has been taken to close the Dancehouse doors beyond our core educational activities, until at least Autumn / Winter 2021.
We are awaiting confirmation from our Promoter Partners as to whether our existing shows will be moved to an alternative venue, postponed or cancelled but a refund will now be available from your original ticket vendor upon request.

From classical ballet to hula hoop and belly dancing – our amazing range of classes offer a great way to learn new skills and keep fit. They're also a perfect place to meet new friends.
Comedy, dance, live music, cinema and drama, or perhaps a new idea for our classes – whatever you're planning, ask our team about everything our unique 1930's venue can offer.
Working with a range of national and local partners throughout the year we're proud to host an exciting variety of recurring events including comedy, cabaret, satire, spoken word and dance.
Joining us at The Dancehouse is a little like stepping into a time machine. The Art Deco surroundings are a real treasure – totally original and restored back to their former glory.
With its quirky and original programme of events The Dancehouse is often called Manchester's 'hidden gem' – firmly established within the city's famously vibrant entertainment scene.
