Danceworx Academy is run by qualified teachers and has been teaching children and adults to dance for the past 30+ years.. It is very much a family run dance school with a huge emphasis on teaching through enjoyment. ensuring that the children have fun while they learn.
We belong to the UKA (United Kingdom Alliance) which is a corporate member of the British Dance Council. Being a part of the UKA enables us to offer the chance to take exams in Disco, Ballroom and Latin American.. Our pass rate is constantly high and the children gain not only a sense of achievement but also a great deal of confidence in the process.
The children take part regularly at school fetes and local events giving them a chance to perform to an audience.. We also like to invite the parents/grandparents/friends along for our presentation mornings where the children demonstrate their exam routines and receive their medals and certificates.
Over the years the school has grown in size and is now run with the help of my experienced teachers Nicole and Lianne, who are also my daughters.

I have danced from the age of 11 learning Ballroom and Latin at a local dance school. I progressed through taking exams and then competing nationally in competitions being trained by Len Goodman (of Strictly fame),
Sydney Francis, Gordon Little, and numerous other top professionals.
I progressed on to take my teaching exams with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance and taught for Len Goodman before opening my own school.
