“Empowering our community through movement, connection, and creativity. At Studio 96 Dance Academy CIC, we provide a safe, inclusive, and affordable space where people of all ages can come together to learn, grow, and celebrate the joy of dance and community.”
– Suzanne Roberts, Founder
Studio 96 Dance Academy CIC is a purpose-designed dance studio located in the City of Salford, dedicated to serving the local community. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), we operate not only as a dance academy but also as a welcoming space available for hire by local organisations, groups, and individuals seeking a place to connect, create, and collaborate.
A CIC is a special type of company designed to benefit the community rather than private shareholders. Unlike traditional businesses, CICs are legally required to use their profits and assets for the public good. At Studio 96 Dance Academy CIC, this means our focus is on making dance, movement, and community-led activities accessible to people of all backgrounds and abilities.
We believe in the power of community spaces to inspire and uplift. By establishing as a CIC, we’ve made a commitment to reinvest in programs, classes, and events that benefit Salford residents. From offering affordable dance classes and workshops to providing a versatile venue for community events, we exist to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate in enriching experiences.
At Studio 96 Dance Academy CIC, we are proud to be a part of Salford’s vibrant community. If you’re looking for a place to meet, create, or simply move, we welcome you to join us.
Whether you want to join a class, hire our beautiful space, or just see what we’re all about there’s a place for you here at Studio 96.
Come along, get involved, and make yourself at home!
