About Us
At K2 Dance Academy we provide professional dance tuition for children and adult, whether you are looking for a recreational class or aiming for a professional dance career.
Miss Kara opened K2 Dance Academy in January 2007, growing it from three weekly classes into a full timetable across two venues. Our IDTA qualified teachers take students from their very first Tots class at age 3 through the grades, medal tests and performances, right up to adult classes and Silver Swans.
Classes run at Cotgrave and West Bridgford, and we are proudly affiliated with the IDTA, Progressing Ballet Technique, Acrobatic Arts and the Royal Academy of Dance.

Frequently asked questions
Can my child join if they have never danced before?
Absolutely. Most of our students start with no experience at all. Book a trial class in the right age group and come and give it a go. Our classes are fun, friendly and inclusive from age 3 upwards.
What should we wear to the first class?
You do not need uniform to try a class. Clothing you can move freely and feel comfortable in is best, and ideally not too long so the feet can be seen. Long hair must be tied back off the face for all lessons. Once you join, the full uniform list by class is on our Uniforms page.
What age can my child start?
Our Tots classes are open to boys and girls from age 3, with AcroTots and Ballet Tots as a high energy introduction to dance. From there students move into Mini at 4, Junior at 7, Senior at 10 and Advanced at 13.
Where are classes held?
We teach at two venues: Candleby Lane School in Cotgrave and Wightman Hall in West Bridgford. Full addresses are further down this page.
How do fees work?
Fees are paid monthly, on the 1st of each month from 1st August, which spreads the cost evenly across the year.
Do you offer exams?
Yes. We are an IDTA school and students work through graded examinations, medal tests and class assessments across Ballet, Theatre Craft, Tap, Acro, Cheer and Irish.
