Karen Blackburn Dance Academy

Fabulous dance school and a great home for my daughter. Ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and musical theatre are taught with such a love for their students.

My daughter started at KBDA doing acro and she realised just how much she loved to dance. With the help of very kind/knowledgeable staff she has increased her classes to cover a range of core subjects. Karen has helped her dance her way through lockdown, pass her RAD exams (based mainly on zoom training) and guided her through her very first audition experience. I can't recommend KBDA highly enough.

My daughter LOVES her dance classes, they are creative and fun but disciplined. She first started ballet as a very shy and timid 4-year-old. Miss Karen and her wonderful teachers have nurtured her and helped build her confidence over the 4 years she has been dancing with KBDA. In taking the time to get to know her, the team have guided her and helped work through her nerves, recognise her strengths and see her potential; so much so she has recently passed her Grade 1 RAD ballet exam and even performs solo on stage - something I never thought Id see! Lockdown didnt stop them, KBDA has put on a fantastic selection of classes and workshops to keep the kids dancing and doing what they love. I thoroughly recommend this dance school.

Amazing dance school, that supports our daughter from 4 year old beginner, to become a talented, compition winning, and beautiful performer of 16 years old. The teachers are knowledgeable and very supportive, promoting dance techniques along side performance and personal growth.
