Activities at Manorfield Hall Community Centre in Belle Isle are going from strength to strength. Middleton-based dance charity; Dance Action Zone Leeds (DAZL) took over management of the centre last year.
The DAZL and Manorfield Hall Board of Trustees, led by DAZL Director Ian Rodley and Manorfield Chair Christine Webb, have a vision for bringing the hall into the future and back into the heart of the community.
As well as bringing the building up to scratch with new modernisations, they have increased usage from local community groups.
It’s great to have DAZL Empire run various dance classes on Mondays and Tuesdays including the NCDTA Street Dance Syllabus. The Debbie Hart Theatre School has a fantastic programme including their outstanding IDTA examinations, which meet on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The ever-popular; South Leeds and Morley Beavers on Thursdays and Scouts on Saturdays. Great community organisations provide evening youth activities alongside letting the hall to many others.
Manorfield’s Hall’s core activities provide something for everyone and welcome all members of the community.
On Wednesdays, Manorfield Hall runs a Lunch Club from 11:30 am-1:30 pm including bingo for just a £1 donation. It’s a great excuse to get out of the house and meet new people over a hot meal.
Get your dancing shoes on for Wednesday night Line dancing, 6.30-9 pm. Let your hair down in a fun and friendly environment. On Thursdays see the ever-popular Tots group with fun and games for preschool children and their parents.

While you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.
