Step Into The Dancehouse

The Manchester campus of ICTheatre has made its home in The Dancehouse.

Here, ICTheatre occupies three floors of a phenomenal 1930s Art Deco building on Manchester’s famous ‘student corridor’ on Oxford Road.

The Dancehouse has been the location for the prestigious Northern Ballet School. Now, our two colleges will work side by side, giving our students unparalleled training in these beautiful high-end, purpose-built spaces. The Dancehouse provides one of the most comprehensively appointed training facilities to be found.

Not only do the five generous studios have a professional standard sprung beech wood Harlequin floor, but each is equipped with full-height wall mirrors, barres, infrared heating, cooling fans and a piano. The jewel in the crown is that the original Art Deco 400-seat theatre has one of the largest stages in Manchester. This means that ICTheatre students will enjoy facilities that most drama school students can only dream about.
