Would you like to go out dancing in Manchester?

If you like going out dancing and meeting new people in Manchester while enjoying a fun night on the town, we have something for you. Social Circle offers a variety of dance classes in Manchester such as salsa and zumba to improve not only your social life but your health, too. Social dance has ranked among the most popular nights out in Manchester for a while now, with salsa still perhaps the most popular of all. We offer salsa classes each and every month on our Mancheter event calendar, free with your membership.

 

How about some health benefits to go along with that socialising?

Dancing offers numerous health benefits, in fact, and research has shown that dancing with friends and socialising can improve self-esteem, enhance self-confidence, and just generally provide a more positive outlook. Our Manchester dance classes, according to the studies, further reduces tension and stress so that over time, you can feel an increased sense of well-being. It can also cause you to laugh, and provide exercise and fun entertainment all at the same time.

 

Who would I know how to dance with?

At Social Circle, your host (or in this case your instructor) will know you're coming and will ensure that you're integrated into the group. You'll be dancing along in no time and having fun with your new Manchester friends. But be warned...some of our members have gotten the bug and an urge to return time and time again.

 

So how does it work?

We know it’s a little unusual to turn up at an event knowing no one, so we don’t expect you to. Instead, we introduce you to the founders and then to the event host, who will make sure you’re feeling excited and not too nervous.

Whether it’s that you're looking for more things to do in Manchester or it's a lifelong ambition you're dying to fulfil, our Manchester activities have got you covered!

social circle testimonial from Catherine

New Manchester Friends

I knew that Manchester nightlife was legendary but I didn't really know how to get involved. I didn't know my colleagues that well and they tended to go their separate ways after work. I heard about Social Circle and after looking at the website, booked on to a salsa night. I had so much fun and now I go every week, having made loads of new Manchester friends in the process.

All That Jive

I hadn't been dancing in years and have to admit to being a bit intimidated after a fellow Social Circle member convinced me to attend a jive class. Fortunately, it came back to me and I was able to pick it up. I also became good friends with a couple of other members of Social Circle on the night.

Social Circle Friends

I've been living in Manchester for eight years but had no idea there was so much right here on my doorstep. I live in Chorlton and most of my friends only visit the local bars. Since I joined Social Circle, I've been to so many new venues and met so many fantastic people while exploring all of the wonderful things to do in Manchester. I'm impressed, to say the least.

Types Of Event

Salsa

Salsa
Salsa has been popular in Manchester for some years now with numerous classes and salsa nights running across the city. We regularly feature salsa on the calendar for our members who love to shake their hips to some Latin grooves.

Jive

Jive
For those who like their dancing on the vintage and sophisticated side, we occasionally feature jive classes, a popular dance that is a great way to meet people and learn something new at the same time. Jive is also a great way of keeping fit.

Ceilidh

Ceilidh
A Gaelic social event which features traditional music and dancing. A dance that in years gone by was used for courting, ceilidh remains a great way of meeting new people, a perfect event then for Social Circle.
