Amy Morgan-Bell

Principal & Owner

Amy is a qualified and experienced dance and performing arts teacher, holding teaching credentials with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), the British Ballet Organisation (BBO), International Performing Arts and Theatre (I-Path), the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD), and Acrobatic Arts. Alongside her extensive professional training — including time at the Bristol College of Dancing, the Royal Academy of Dance in London and at the Royal Ballet’s Insight Programme — Amy also holds a bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology. This rare combination of expertise allows her to create an environment where every child is not only taught with technical excellence but truly seen, supported, and celebrated as an individual.

With over a decade of teaching experience across Somerset, Wiltshire and London, and professional performance experience in ballet and contemporary dance, Amy brings both passion and insight to her work. On her return to her hometown of Frome, Amy trained as a dance teacher and began building a school that reflects everything she believes in: high standards, genuine care, and a strong sense of community.

Amy has been mentored by leading figures in the UK and international dance world, which has shaped her commitment to outstanding tuition. Many of her students have gone on to conservatoires, universities, and professional careers under the performing arts umbrella. She continues to work closely with national dance companies to provide workshops and performance platforms, ensuring students have access to the professional world from a young age.

Outside the studio, Amy is a well-respected, award-winning choreographer. At home, she’s kept on her toes by her husband, young sons, and mischievous dogs. Her mission is simple: to offer top-quality dance education in a warm, creative, and inspiring space — where students can thrive, grow in confidence, and achieve success in every sense of the word.
