Adult Jazz and Musical Theatre Classes

5pm on Sundays

Love musicals? Us too.

Join us on Sundays at 5pm in Onchan, Isle of Man for a feel-good adult Jazz & Musical Theatre class full of rhythm, expression, and the joy of moving to the songs you know and love. It’s open to everyone!

There’s a suggested donation of £5, but please don’t let that put you off. If you’d like to come and money’s tight, you’re still more than welcome.

Just wear something comfy, bring a bottle of water, and come ready to move, laugh, and feel brilliant.

More Information

Joy of Movement, Music & Self-Expression

If you’re someone who lights up at the sound of a show tune, taps your feet when nobody’s watching, or has always dreamed of stepping into the world of musical theatre then this one’s for you.

Our Adult Jazz and Musical Theatre classes on the Isle of Man offer a fun, accessible, and inclusive space for grown-ups of all ages and experience levels to reconnect with their creativity, boost confidence, and dance to the music they love.

What Is Jazz and Musical Theatre Dance?

Jazz dance is a lively, expressive style that blends classical technique with rhythm, freedom, and flair.

It’s the heartbeat behind musical theatre choreography from Broadway classics to contemporary West End hits. Think Fosse, Chicago, Hairspray, Wicked, and Hamilton. It's about personality, storytelling through movement, and connecting with music in a way that feels good in your body.

In our classes, we take that spirit and make it accessible for everyone. We focus on simple, fun routines to well-loved musical theatre numbers, combined with jazz-based movement to help you build confidence, fitness, and a real sense of joy in performance.

Who Are These Classes For?

Short answer? You.

Our classes are open to anyone aged 18 and over, based here on the Isle of Man. You don’t need to have previous dance experience. You don’t need perfect flexibility or a theatre background. All you need is an interest in musical theatre and a willingness to give it a go.

These sessions are for:

Adults who love musicals and want to dance to the songs they know by heart
Former performers looking to reconnect with movement
Complete beginners ready to try something new and fun
People looking for a social, low-pressure, and creative space
Anyone who wants to move, sweat a little, and leave smiling

Some of our regulars are experienced dancers. Others are just there for the music, the movement, and the mood. All are equally welcome.

These classes are run by Manx National Theatre, a local arts charity committed to making the performing arts accessible to everyone. The sessions are part of our wider programme, and your donation goes directly toward funding free performing arts classes for children and adults across the Isle of Man.

Can’t manage the donation right now? Don’t worry. Come anyway. We’d genuinely rather have you there enjoying the experience than miss out.

What to Expect

Each session begins with a fun warm-up to get you loosened up and ready to move. From there, we’ll explore jazz technique and musical theatre choreography, using songs from iconic stage shows and films.

We dance together, we laugh together, and we all leave feeling a bit brighter than when we walked in.

You don’t need dance shoes or specialist kit just comfy clothes and a water bottle.

What Should I Bring?

Comfy clothes you can move in
Socks or soft ballet shoes (trainers are okay too!)
A bottle of water
Yourself, just as you are

How to Join

There’s no need to book just turn up a little before 5pm and say hello. If you’d like to ask anything first, feel free to drop us a message at info@manxnationaltheatre.im.
