‘Miss Becks’
(Founder & Director)
Watching our students return each term and witnessing their growth is by far the most rewarding aspect of my job, and it’s what fuels my passion to continually expand and evolve. The highlight of my work at Dare Dance is the shows – the opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of our students and see their excitement as they perform in front of a large audience is truly priceless.
I founded Dare Dance Academy in 2014 after completing professional training and earning my ISTD teaching qualifications in Classical Ballet and Modern Theatre. Since then, Dare has grown to support over 500 talented and inspiring students, offering a wide range of performing arts classes across more than 15 schools and locations.
In addition to running Dare Dance, I also serve as the Head of Musical Theatre at a performing arts specialist college. Over the years, it has been a privilege to watch many of my students earn spots at the country’s top vocational training programs for dance and musical theatre. Many of them have gone on to shine on the West End, Broadway, in professional touring companies, and as cruise ship performers – and I couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments.

Miss Callie (Principle)
Dance has always been my passion right from the age of 5 where my journey began. Over the years I have received a variety of dance training from highly qualified and professional teachers across Surrey Sussex and London.
I completed 2 years at Reigate College studying Dance and achieved a level 3 awarded distinction star. I completed my dance teacher training and qualification with the IDTA exam board and passed with the highest marks of a distinction (International dance teachers association).
I started teaching with Dare in 2017 and had the privilege to be promoted to principle in 2020. I’d like to think I inspire the students at ‘Dare’ and believe I can help them succeed and achieve their dreams.
From the very first class I ever taught I knew this was the career path for me, as I found that teaching is an extremely rewarding job, which I absolutely love. I believe dance has made me the person I am today and I look forward to continuing my journey with Dare Dance Academy.
