The dance studio for both our adult and junior classes is called GFFdamian Dance Studio, close to Victoria train station (address below). Both junior and adult classes are located in Studio 2.
Once through the front door, head downstairs and press the doorbell for the receptionist to let you in! Please remember to take your shoes off and leave them in the shelves by the door.

You can wear any comfortable clothing that you can dance in! We would recommend gym or sports wear.
Please remember to bring with you a 2nd pair of clean trainers/shoes that you can dance in. You must change into these shoes at the entrance, as the dance studio does not allow you to enter in the shoes that you travelled in (outdoor shoes).
There are toilets, changing rooms, and lockers at GFFdamian, as well as a comfy seating area in reception. Parents of juniors are welcome to sit in reception during class or leave and return at the end.
Parking is free on Sundays (single yellow line) on Corporation St/Crown Ln behind the studio, or there is a small SIP car park nearby too.

Our RPD (Random Play Dance) events are usually outdoors, free to attend and open to all ages! No need to book, just show up at the correct time!
RPD's take place at Castlefield Bowl or Greengate Square when outdoors (addresses below), please check for the location on our social media.
The only exceptions to this are our annual ISAC and Manchester Kpop Day RPDs which take place indoors, so these will have an entrance fee and can be booked online in advance or paid for on the door (if we have space).

Adult Cover Dance
Our adult cover dance group is 18+ yrs and auditions open approx 4 times a year. Keep an eye on our Instagram @mcrkpopdance for the audition notices. We generally audition per song, rather than to join the group as a general member. This gives more people the opportunity to do a cover with us, and it is more flexible as it means there is no commitment to do every single cover with us!
Practices are fortnightly on Sundays from 12:00-14:00 at GFFdamian Dance Studio. The studio hire fee is shared between the members, and you will be expected to find/buy your own costumes.
Once you have completed 2 covers with us, you'll gain access to requesting and voting for songs for covers, as well as getting a member profile and taking part in extra performances.
Junior Cover Dance
Our junior cover dance group is 9-17 yrs and auditions open once every term (3 times a year). Keep an eye on our Instagram @mcrkpopdance for the audition notices. For the junior team, we audition per song, rather than to join the group as a general member. This gives more people the opportunity to do a cover with us, and it is more flexible as it means there is no commitment to do every single cover with us!
Junior practices are fortnightly on Sundays from 12:00-14:00 at GFFdamian Dance Studio. There will be an upfront fee for joining and taking part in a junior cover, usually £36 total for all practices (6 weeks), you will also be expected to find/buy your own costumes as per our chosen theme.
