Reach for the moon.
Dance among the stars.
Ballet to Acro, first class to competition floor. Small graded classes, qualified teachers, and a studio where every dancer is known by name.
Our Approach
Where dancers grow in confidence, technique and character.
Moondance Studio is a family-run dance school serving Devon & Cornwall, led by our Principal Natalie — who trained from the age of three in Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz, Acro and Musical Theatre, passed her IDTA exams through the grades, and reached the top six in the Miss Dance of Great Britain finals at seventeen.
That festival-scene background shapes how we teach: technique first, progression at each dancer's own pace, and a studio that stays genuinely welcoming to a three-year-old in their first pair of ballet shoes.
Natalie went on to teach across the South West before opening Moondance, and still leads the majority of our graded syllabus work herself. Every dancer's progress is tracked personally — which classes suit them next, when they're ready for an exam, and whether competing is something they actually want. Parents get an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
