Does your child love to dance?

Eclectic Dance Academy was established in September 2013 with 25 students and now has 125 students. Owner and principal teacher Miss Cassie Todd has over 15 years teaching experience. She began dancing at the tender age of two before deciding to make a career of dance on leaving school.

She moved to Coventry and trained professionally for 3 years at Pattison Theatre Arts under the direction of Miss Betty Pattison, founder of the International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) ballet syllabus. Miss Cassie studied a variety of dance styles including ballet, tap, modern jazz, musical theatre, contemporary, national, street and

commercial as well as singing, drama, verse and Aprose technique.

As well as performing experience, Miss Cassie obtained associate level IDTA teaching

qualifications in ballet, tap, modern, jazz and Efreestyle. After featuring in many professional shows, cabarets and pantomimes, she relocated to London to pursue her dream of becoming a top-class performer. Unfortunately, a bad back injury saw Miss Cassie return to the North East to fulfil a new dream of creating a new, dynamic dance school where she could pass on her skills, knowledge and experience.

After seven years of hiring the dance studio at a local school, Miss Cassie moved into her very own studio

in early 2020. Due to COVID-19, however, the new Cstudio couldn’t officially open until April 2021.

Each year, Eclectic Dance Academy perform

a show at a professional theatre, where pupils Cshowcase what they have learned and celebrate their dedication and hard work. As well as developing performance skills and confidence, this is always a memorable occasion for both parents and students.

Miss Cassie makes learning fun and helps each student achieve their highest potential, is confident, happy and has fun. Students are also encouraged to work towards ISTA qualifications, rewarding them for their progress. Miss Cassie is justifiably proud of her 100% pass rate. dance studio is equipped with barres, mirrors, sprung floors as well as a reception area where refreshments are available.
