At Karen Blackburn Dance Academy we have a passion for inspiring confidence, creativity, and excellence through the art of dance. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching our students grow, express themselves, and achieve their goals.

 

Our journey began in 2000, fuelled by a desire to make dance accessible to everyone. Back then, opportunities for inclusive and diverse dance education were limited, and we knew we could make a difference.

​

Over time, we saw how dance could transform lives, building self-esteem, nurturing individuality, and creating lifelong friendships. We expanded our classes to include Ballet, Modern, Tap, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Acro, and Street Dance, catering to students of all abilities and aspirations.

​

As our community grew, so did our commitment to providing top-quality training. We became affiliated with prestigious organisations like the Royal Ballet School and Rambert Grades, ensuring our students receive the best education possible.

​

Today, KBDA is more than just a dance school; it’s a place where individuality is celebrated, creativity flourishes, and excellence is achieved. While much has changed since our first class, our passion remains the same: helping every student thrive, one step at a time.
