Silhouette Dance Company review
Ranked 1 of 10 in Dance schools in Telford
Best overall dance school in Telford: long-running Telford school with IDTA teaching and cover
Sole Trader
Telford · Service area: Telford
Silhouette Dance Company in short
Silhouette Dance Company is a long-running Telford school teaching street dance, ballet, contemporary and acro alongside preschool and SEN classes, tracing itself back to 2011. The principal states an IDTA associate freestyle teaching credential with over fifteen years behind her, and the team page records DBS checks and a chaperone licence across the staff. Our review finds that breadth of genre plus stated credentials and stated cover the strongest package in this round.
Customers rate the school highly, with five stars on Google across one of the largest review bases in this round. The owner states the school is fully insured and first-aid trained, which few Telford rivals publish.
What counts against Silhouette Dance Company is the missing price list: no class fees appear on the pages checked, so the written quote does the talking. That single gap keeps an otherwise complete record from perfection.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Silhouette Dance Company suits parents who want a long-running Telford school with stated IDTA teaching credentials and cover in place, across a wide spread of genres [1] [2]. What counts against it is the absence of published prices. Its 5.0 Google rating across 29 reviews, seen 4 September 2026, sits near the top of this round on volume [3].

Questions about Silhouette Dance Company
Is Silhouette Dance Company any good?
On the evidence, yes for families who want breadth: it tops our Telford dance schools table with five stars on Google, a stated IDTA teaching credential and stated cover. The genre spread runs from preschool to SEN classes. The one gap is unpublished prices, so ask for the term fees with the trial booking.
Is Silhouette Dance Company registered with a dance teaching body?
An IDTA associate freestyle teaching qualification is stated on the school's own team page, alongside DBS checks and a chaperone licence. No mandatory registration applies to dance schools, so there is no licence to look up. Ask which teacher takes each class and confirm the credential behind the name.
What does Silhouette Dance Company charge?
It publishes no class prices, rates or fee statements on the pages checked. That means the quote does the talking: send the classes your child would take and ask for the half-term and term figures together. Confirm what sits outside the fee, such as exams and show costumes, before agreeing anything.
