More than just a studio

about us

How it all began

It all started in 1999 when Ronald Jager relocated from the Netherlands to the UK with an idea – to set up a premier dance & events venue in Manchester.From 2004, Jager’s began teaching in our first location, “The Pennine Lounge”, Oldham. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength, opening our current “State of the Art” HQ at Earl Mill, Oldham and most recently, in our 9th business year, a new location in Glossop.The dream was always to have a large, sprung ballroom floor, large car park and easy access to the M60 corridor. Did we deliver? Yes, we did.

Natasha

“If I could have any superpower, I would love to be able to fly. I love trying new foods from all over the world and love spending time with family and friends whenever possible.”

Emily

“I’m a very motivated person, outgoing, a big foodie (Italian or Asian) and a gym lover! My past has taught me to remain focussed and positive no matter what happens.”

Barry & Amanda

“Barry once flew a plane. Amanda has run, jogged, fainted and walked over 50k for cancer research. We met at Jagers, have two beautiful boys, and the rest is history.”

Biagio

“Before I moved to England, I was a graphic designer. I couldn’t speak a word of English until I met Annie at the age of 19. If napping were an Olympic sport, I would take the gold medal.”

Annie

“I moved to Italy at the age of 17 on my own to live and compete over there. I’m fluent in Italian, and before I moved away to dance, my other dream was to be on a Broadway stage in London.”

Colin & Barbara

“We both like reading, meeting new people, going on holidays and playing table tennis. Colin is a Laurel & Hardy fan, and Barbara likes watching soaps on TV.”
