Pickup Dance Southampton

🩰 Little dancers, BIG achievements! ✨
Look at these three! 💕
We couldn't be prouder of our young dancers for getting up on stage and performing.
For our youngest pupils, dance is about so much more than perfect steps. They're learning to listen, perform independently, build confidence and — most importantly — enjoy dancing.
Every time they step onto a stage is a little victory in itself. 🥰
Well done girls! 🌸

💜 Twice the determination! 💜
Strength, flexibility, control and a whole lot of teamwork.
Our Gymnastic Dance classes combine dance technique with acrobatic skills, helping dancers develop confidence in everything from balances and bridges to more advanced tricks.
And there's something even better about getting to perform it alongside a friend. ✨

🏆 WE WON! 🩰💕

We’re so excited to share that Pickup Dance Southampton has been named Best Ballet School in Southampton 2026 by the Quality Business Awards! ✨

PDS received an overall quality rating of 95%+, and we couldn’t be prouder.

What started back in 2014 with just one ballet class a week has grown into the amazing dance school we have today — and none of it would be possible without our wonderful dancers and families. 💕

A huge thank you to everyone who chooses PDS, recommends us, leaves us lovely reviews and continues to support the school. And, of course, to our brilliant teaching team for everything they put into our dancers each week.

Best Ballet School in Southampton 2026 🏆
That feels pretty special! 🩰✨

“Better together 💕”
One of our favourite things about group work is watching dancers learn to trust, support and encourage one another.
It takes strength and flexibility to achieve skills like these — but it also takes timing, teamwork and lots of practice.
We love seeing our dancers challenge themselves and celebrate each other's progress.
