The UK’s most beloved dance group, Diversity, which rose to fame after winning Britain’s Got Talent, is to open a new dance studio in Birmingham city centre next month. The new spot, based in the city’s Jewellery Quarter, joins the Diversity Studio family, which includes a dance venue in Essex as well as an online studio.
It will offer world-class facilities with the space open to everyone, from in-person dance classes for ‘baby’ beginners aged four and up to adult professionals, along with exclusive hire for all kinds of events. A range of styles will be taught, including street dance, commercial and contemporary, with weekly lessons taught by core Diversity members themselves. Plus, yearly productions and special masterclasses.
Diversity’s Ashley Banjo said, “What I love about Diversity is that we’ve never held an audition. It’s always been about the community and everyone who comes to learn and train with us. In one space you’ll have a world-class production being rehearsed and in another you have beginners who are learning their first ever piece of choreography.”
The studio will begin welcoming the public for official dance classes on Monday, October 13. A Diversity Studio Birmingham open day is also being held on Saturday, October 11. The news comes as Diversity prepares to embark on a new concept tour, ‘SOUL’, in spring 2026, opening with five shows at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre from February 11 to 14.
