Motion Dance Academy

Welcome to motion dance academy

At Motion Dance Academy, we believe dance is about more than steps — it’s about confidence, creativity, and community. Based in the heart of Cambridgeshire, we offer expert training for children and young people across a wide range of styles including Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Street, Acro and Musical Theatre. Our structured three-term programme supports every dancer’s journey — from first foundations to performance excellence — while our Competition and Performance Teams provide exciting opportunities to represent Motion on stage and at prestigious national events. With a strong focus on inclusion, progression, and enjoyment, Motion is a place where every dancer feels supported, valued, and inspired to shine.

At the start of the academic year, we had a little girl who was struggling. She was lacking confidence in her ability and had lost a lot of enthusiasm for something she previously loved. Just under 2 months later, we now have a little girl who's back to dancing everywhere she goes and who is always upside down (even when we'd rather she wasn't!!)! 😍 She knows what she has to work on and improve but she also knows what she's good at. Thank you Motions!!! Honestly, she has transformed!
