Fox Dance Academy prides itself on having a close knit team of teachers and staff who always strive to help student’s reach the absolute best of their potential.

Principal

Miss Caroline - Boss Lady

Miss Caroline founded Fox Dance Academy in 2008 after a number of years performing, choreographing and teaching in many different countries including France, Greece and Luxembourg.  Dancing from a very young age and having a very tough personal experience at one of the schools she trained at gave her the desire and determination to ensure everyone who wanted to dance could do so in a safe and nurturing school.

“I always knew I wanted to teach everyone the magic of dance in a caring and positive environment, where class mates became lifelong friends and a school could become a family.  I am incredibly proud of the school we have created, the support that teachers, pupils and parents all show and the amazing opportunities, fun and hard work we offer and experience with them.

Miss Gemma - The Crazy ideas one

Miss Gemma always has a head full of imaginative and crazy ideas, whether its for things to do in class, organization of events or much grander things for everyone to enjoy.

Miss Gemma is fabulous with both younger and senior pupils, ensuring they all have the essential foundations necessary to move through the grade work and execute their work to the best of their ability.  Her ability to match a child with a song for competition work is her magic power, making her choreography truly spectacular, but her love for Disney is probably stronger than all her little ones put together, making her a little crazy and a lot of fun.

Amazing dance school; so welcoming to everyone. No unnecessary pressure on the children; nothing but supportive. After signing my daughter up I also joined the adult classes which has been the best thing I have done. When I am dancing it completely takes my mind off everything else.

Alison DurningParent & Dancer

My daughter had sensory issues which caused anxiety but FDA welcomed her to join in, in whatever capacity she was comfortable. The turnaround and confidence she has developed is outstanding and all due to the nurturing and caring staff. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Holly HulettParent

I have been attending Fox Dance Academy for the last 3 years and as an adult dancer, coming back to class, I was nervous but I didn't need to be.

Miss Caroline and all the teachers are so friendly and welcoming; they make you feel part of the family straight away.

Classes are fun and I've made so many great friends there too.

Abigail WebbDancer

Our daughter absolutely loves her dance class and looks forward to it every week. Miss Caroline is very friendly and patient with her and she has made great process over the last 18 months.
It’s such a great opportunity for children to meet friends, learn new skills and grow in confidence.

Paul MorrisParent

A friendly and inclusive Dance school with a great variety of dance styles available. Both my daughter love Acro, and have made some lovely friendships. I’ve even taken the plunge and restarted my dancing journey after 22 years!

Jess BarlowDancer

I cannot express in words just how wonderful the FDA really is!
My daughter was once quite shy and didn't like people to watch her dance. But with the guidance, support and care from Miss Gemma she overcame her nerves and now we get to watch her on stage in shows and competing in solo dances! Thank you so much Miss G!

E. ShiltonParent

Amazing place. Moved here 5 years ago, wished I started here when I started looking for a school - as Caroline is a great teacher; loving, informative, creative, helps you with technique and direction in dance - love her.

Belle BrantDancer

After more than 10 years without dancing, I decided to join FDA for Ballet and Belly Dancing, and so far has been the best decision I have made. All the teacher are lovely and friendly and the classes are fun as you create a small group that is having fun as well as developing their dancing passion. Highly recommend FDA for any age.

FernandaDancer

My daughter has recently started with FDA after her previous dance class shut down and they have been amazing. We trialled a few classes before deciding which one she wanted to do and in the end we chose two classes as she loves it so much! The teachers are lovely and it is professionally run whilst still being very friendly.

JodieParent
