The Academy Dance and Fitness Studio

The Academy Dance and Fitness Studio in Arnold, Nottingham, teaches dance to children aged 2–18 years. The studio offers both examination-focused training through the International Dance Teachers Association and recreational non-syllabus classes.

Core syllabus subjects include Ballet, Tap, Contemporary Modern Jazz, Gymnastic Dance, Theatre Craft, and Drama. Beyond these, the studio runs Musical Theater, Lyrical, Street Dance, Commercial, Acrobatics, Tumbling, Conditioning, and Singing classes. Students prepare for IDTA examinations and participate in studio shows. Parents have noted that children make rapid progress and form friendships; one parent reported that her daughters aged 12 and 7 "have completely transformed into lovely young dancers" and participated in their first shows.

The studio hosts children's birthday parties, including bespoke dance parties and "Little Diva's Pamper Parties". The team is led by Sam, who is named consistently in parent testimonials. The studio also runs a Student Area for registered learners.
