MEET THE owner & Artistic Director

Hey, I'm Ms Charlotte

I am the owner of Roc Dance. We pride ourselves on being “Dedicated to Dance,” a motto that reflects our commitment to excellence in dance education and the holistic development of our students.

With over a decade of experience in the dance world in both the UK & US, I have dedicated myself to creating a nurturing environment where dancers can thrive. Our qualified and passionate instructors are not only skilled in their craft but are also dedicated to inspiring confidence and creativity in every student.

At Roc Dance, we embrace a curriculum that fosters growth, placing our dancers in local teams and college programs, and helping them achieve their goals.

However, we believe that dance is more than just technique; it’s about building life skills that extend far beyond the studio. Our classes promote social-emotional growth, mental well-being, and physical health, all while cultivating lasting friendships and meaningful connections. As a mum myself, I know that investing in dance is investing in your child's future.

At Roc Dance, we strive to create a family atmosphere where the studio feels like a second home during their formative years. I invite you to meet our incredible faculty, some of whom have been shaping the lives of dancers in our community for years.

Welcome to the Roc Dance Family!

Meet the Dream Team

At Roc Dance, our faculty is a true "dream team," united by a shared passion for dance. Each instructor is college-educated in dance and brings a wealth of knowledge to our studio. With many years of professional performance experience, they are not only talented dancers but also dedicated educators who inspire and nurture our students. Together, they create an enriching environment where every dancer can thrive and explore their love for movement.
