CCDA takes a no-tolerance approach to bullying Students and parents should be assured that known incidents of bullying will be responded to. The ethos of CCDA fosters high expectations of outstanding behaviour and we will consistently challenge any behaviour that falls below this. To increase the understanding of what constitutes bullying to all teaching and non-teaching staff, students and parents.
Today's dancer has the opportunities to try very diverse range of styles and choreography which requires well managed progression through technique. Limbering & strengthening classes are essential to allow the student to progress. They are also great for fitness and compliment any gymnastic work. As boys develop, their need for flexibility and strength as well as stamina are different from the girls.
In order to extend their work with young people, over the past 12 months, Cirencester Creative Dance Academy have been working hard to become an Approved Qualification Centre for SLQ Dance and Sports Leadership. With this now in place, their aim is to support more young people to enable them to realise their potential, through positive leadership qualifications and awards, delivered by qualified and experienced staff.

CCDA has furthered my two daughter's quality and passion for dance by miles. It is suitable for everyone, regardless of your age, gender, or talent. It offers so much and many opportunities to show off your dance skills. During the last 8 months (since my daughters joined the academy) my children have never loved dance more. Highly recommend!!

My daughter has been dancing with CCDA for a numbers of years now and started off with 1 lesson a week that has now turned in to 8! She just lives and breathes dance. CCDA offers a varied timetable that cater for all levels of dance. The teachers are inclusive and their passions shines through in their teaching.

My twin girls started CCDA just before they were 3 years old. Staff at CCDA are exceptionally good and utterly dedicated to bringing the best out of their pupils. Staff finely balance challenge with support and provide masses of encouragement enabling all dancers to blossom. The range of opportunities the club provides is both extensive and exciting. The sense of community among staff and dancers is just lovely older dancers teaching, looking after and inspiring the younger ones. For my girls dance lessons are the best part of their week!

My daughter joined CCDA in January taking ballet and tap lessons. Isobel absolutely loves coming to her dance classes. The opportunity to perform on stage at the Bingham Hall for the presentation day and again at the Sundial theatre for the summer show in front of a large audience has given her so much confidence and transformed her from being… quite a shy little girl to an outgoing child who loves performing. There are a fantastic range of dance genres at CCDA to suit all personalities. The Academy is very professional, the summer show was utterly amazing and very inspirational for the

Not sure from where to start but firstly I can highly recommend CCDA DANCE ACADEMY. I can’t stop my self from no commenting how amazing is Miss Verity Morris .We are quite new to CCDA but it was best decision for my 5 years old Esme. It makes me happy that my daughter is inspired by such a talented teacher. Esme’s comment on Friday after her ballet… class was “ mummy Miss Verity makes me feel that I want to learn more” I think that’s such a powerful thing to say from such a young lady. All she talks is about her teacher and she wants to be like Miss Verity

I thoroughly recommend CCDA as a dance school. My daughter joined from another school, and from the outset the difference was immediate. The commitment and high standard of teaching has seen her blossom into a beautiful young performer. It has helped her struggling self confidence and her self discipline, but most of all she just loves it ! Opportunities are plentiful and the shows are legendary.

I started dancing with Katherine more years ago than either of us would care to remember!! Growing up I was given the amazing opportunity to dance in competitions all over the country, learn loads of different techniques and have a second family. I’m so happy to be able to give my daughter the same opportunity with CCDA.

CCDA is a great dance school with so many different dance genres and classes available for all ages. The sense of community and support within the school is lovely with talented dancers who are all supportive of each other and experiences, qualified teachers who know how to build your child’s confidence and grow their dance ability.
My son has… grown hugely in performing skills and dance technique and now enjoys classes across many of the genres available. CCDA has boys-only classes on offer as well which he loves as well as the opportunity to perform to an audience at showcases every

CCDA isn’t just a dance school it’s a family, the supportive teachers and fun loving environment have filled my entire dance training with happy memories. CCDA was not just where I learnt good ties naughty toes it’s where I discovered my passion. The experiences of learning and performing at cirencester inspired me to follow my dreams and pursue a career in dance. 8 years of vocational dance training later I owe it all to Cirencester.
